    The majority of my clients are part time. Although I am low right now (seems hard times for everyone) it has seemed to work out quite well for me in the past years to work my schedule out with all kinds of part timers to fill up as if full time. (have two families sharing days of the week so it equals to be close to full time income) In my case it has actually worked out for the better, my minimum is three days a week (pay) they are due to pay for three days a week, if they choose to use only one or two days in a week that's up to them but still require the minimum due of 3 days pay. If you take multiple families at that minimum due rate, you can actually manage to make more income than full time families. Your choice though... if you NEED the income I would think twice before letting families go, maybe you can come to an agreement? they pay for three days a week rather than your agreed "4", and their asking "2"? I have in the past though let families go because I felt they were trying to "cheap" out after making an agreement like the one you are dealing with...but I also had plenty of other income to compensate for the loss. Your choice....just think a little before going ahead with it, if you don't fill these spots you could regret not at least trying to meet in the middle.
