    If they need you to have any day available each week to use at their own discretion whenever they wanted then that to me would fall under a full time spot and they would have to pay your full time fees and it would be up to them what days/times they would like to put in or take child out. This is because it would be impossible to find someone to mirror their varying schedule. I just had a family in the same scenario. I told them that they would have to let me know 3 definite scheduled days to be considered part time, or pay for full time if I needed to be available to them any 5 days.I have had a child that comes twice a week, every week being different, and it has proven to be such a pain, also because she stays longer past dinner time.... so I can't sign up my self or my kids for evening swimming for example, because each week is different so she could be here on that day and then we're missing a class that is paid for. So never again for me. Plus, its so much harder on the kids to adjust with that. especially if its under 3 days a week. Consistency is a must for me now. I just don't want to be even bothered with part time anymore.
