    I let parents know that the advantage of home daycare is that their child will have a home-like experience, but the downside is that they MUST have a backup plan in case I need to close unexpectedly due to illness or other emergency. In this case, I would tell the family they need to use their backup plan as I am unavailable. I run a business, and businesses have to close sometimes. If they don't have a backup plan, they are not a good fit for a home daycare and need to go to a centre where there is relief staff.
