I should clarify that like many of my policies while I have the policy to cover my butt should I need to do such a thing financially I have never terminated a part time client ... my first year starting out I had NINE part time clients and only my nephew was full time .... fortunately over the next few years as clients moved or had babies I had several of those initial clients who opted to move up to full time when the options came available for them until I had all full time clients ... which I so very much prefer and currently have turned away a couple part time bits in favor of holding out for the full time option but my 5th space is a 'bonus' space in my budget so I can afford to be picky with it!
