hi there I m running family day care. in may care one parent treated so badly and even my co-ordinator didn't support me much too. the lady was coming casually and didn't want to give contract hours so when I asked her to pay me for holiday. she refused. she abused me at my place I was crying when she left and my co-ordinator came and she gave me all negative points before she was happy. everything changed in few ours. so now I decided to leave the scheme and joining new scheme and I hope I will get help from them.

I am not in FDC so not aware of what you mean by contract hours and what you mean by you wanted her to pay you for holidays.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Just to be sure about your situation, a parent came to you for casual care and refused to pay you the casual rate. Then you asked her to pay for the holiday rate instead and she still refused? I'm sorry I'm just trying to understand what happened.
Anyway it isn't nice when a parent abuses you, it makes you feel horrible, especially if you don't have support from your co-coordinator as well. You mentioned she also gave you negative points, were these points from the parent who told your coordinator?
Since your not getting any support and you had such a bad experience it's a good idea you changed. Maybe you should mention this incident to your new coordinator and she can support you so it doesn't happen again.
It will be alright,
