That's too bad you couldn't have weeded her out before the interview.

I am one of those providers who do not charge when I close or when your child is sick. I have very specific reasons for running my business this way. And I promise I run a very legitimate daycare with a great program.

I do have a contract, and I ask for 30 days notice when they terminate though.

At the end of the day you have to charge what you're willing to work for. Otherwise, you'll hate what you do. Stick to your fees and programs, someone amazing will come along and take that space.
