    I had a family start out at five days then went to three days but insisted that in the spring they would go back to five days. so since i wanted to keep the little one i said fine. then i found out that they had no intention of returning to five days so i said i had to charge a bit more. then they said that they only wanted two days. i dropped them. they were too much. they were also really mad and said they came to a home daycare because there were less rules and regulations then a centre. i told them they chose a home daycare so they could take advantage of one. no loss to me.

    Love it smitty, awesome response!

    It really depends on what you want to do. Part timers really can drain you financially if you don't handle it well. Finding someone to fill for Wednesday -Thursday sounds like it might be difficult, could they change to mon wed fri, so you can fill tues thurs? And I would charge a bit more too.

    I once told a family that they could do that as long as we could find another family to fill the off days, before X date. They were able to find someone before I did. Worked out well for both of us.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
