Part time care - What would you do?

Seriously, RUN, don't walk away................ ...

This is called flex care. And, personally, flex care is a PITA. The kids are not used to your routine or your rules. They don't feel secure with you because they have not developed a feeling of trust in your or your environment.

You are running a daycare - not a drop-in centre. Just tell her that it's not gonna work and find other clients.

Here is some foresight for you..............wha t are you going to do when you get to a point of being nearly full and you can't fill your last two spots because these kids "might" come a few times a month?? If you lose income 15 times a month for two kids that is close to $1000 a month that you LOSE in income.

Are you REALLY willing to potentially lose $12,000 a year in income to care occasionally for two kids who are going to ALWAYS be difficult to care for????
