What Would You Do?

[DaycareLady1]

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the forum and also just started my own home daycare. I have a client who has a child come on 3 set days per week. I just started last week, and they are already asking me to switch days for one week. What would you do? I'm thinking I should just be firm with the fact that I've committed to certain days of the week. I just don't want to get into the habit of switching days constantly. It does state in my contract that if a child can't come on a daycare day due to illness or another reason, that the parent is responsible to still pay for that day. I am holding the space for their child on those days. What do you guys think? I can't help but wonder if I agree to switch days this time, if they will keep asking me, and my schedule will become a mess! Any advice? What should I say back to the parents?
