a rotating schedule is rough to manage. You may get going and decide you need to increase your income ( of just want to ) You may have days when just 2 makes the day drag and you will get to that point where you prefer a larger group and set hours.
If you are willing to accept them on a rotating basis you need to charge them a set fee per week/month and inflate it a little based on the fact that you can't fill the remainder of that spot to make up to FT income on those 2 spots.
I think this is a common thing we all do... at least I know I did it. I took whatever I could get at first because I was so worried about not filling I was not selective on who I took. Lesson learned! I went nearly a year with sisters who took up a part time space... stayed until 9 some nights and were a bit of a pain to keep on the schedule.
Now I have a strict business plan. 3 FT, 1 PT and 1 before after school.
Decide what you want/need and then fill those spaces.
