UMMMM.....NO! If you make exceptions for her you have to make exceptions for everyone and next thing you know you will be working 15 hour days for everyone. What kind of job does she have that she actually works 15 hours a day too?

I would say unfortunately it doesn't work for you and if that means she needs to go elsewhere then so be it.

I never understood why people say they are flexible with their start and end times. I figure out what hours best work for me, what hours would actually suite a lot of families so I can fill spots and stick to them. I work from 7:30-5 Mon - Fri NOT NEGOTIABLE!!
