Well for me I guess it would depend on if I could fill the times the child waney there or are they taking up a full spot. When I first started I had one similar ... It was shift work also but one to four full days a week I just charged her my part time rate and this was also my first family so I wanted something to get going .....For me at that time something was better then nothing... I had them for a year and due to their change in circumstances they are no longer here and I am now full so I won't be taking them back but if I had a spot they would have to pay full time fees as there is no way I could fill the rest of the week and therefore I would lose income .... good luck with your new daycare : )
