    Would you allow a switch?

    Just wanted to get some feedback...

    I have a PT child who comes Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays but this child was sick for Monday and Tuesday.

    The DCM told me in advance today that she would keep her home on Wednesday just to be safe but that she would like to send the child on Friday instead. She said she needs the day to clean house and do all the things she hasn't had a chance to since the child had been sick for so many days.

    I have space on Friday so it wouldn't be an issue.

    But she asked whether she would be charged for 4 days or 3. Would I be willing to do the switch or if she needed the Friday would she be charged. She said she would be okay to pay if that was what I would ask her to do but the fact that she offered made me feel worse. :S

    I get on well with this family and feel it would be kind of heartless to not allow her to switch the Wednesday for the Friday this week but am wondering what everyone else would do.

    Since the numbers are the same for me on either the Wednesday or the Friday and I am relieved she is not sending her sick child for a few more days just to be safe then I feel like the right thing to do is give her the Friday.

    On the other hand the business woman in me thinks I don't want to set a bad precedence and have her think sick days aren't payable and can be switched around or moved around or that I 'owe' a day.

    This is something that has never happened to me in the last few years so I am kind of torn
