Just be honest and explain you understood they would for the most part be there 4 days a week, with only the occasional shorter week. In order for you to plan budget wise for your family you need to have dependable income. Find what works for you and offer her the options. Options may be: pay for all days booked for care that you are available, pay for all days booked for care that you are available with 5? days absent per year not requiring payment, move to drop in care at $35 per day, but spot not guaranteed, etc. She is already getting a deal as most providers would charge a full week rate if client was seeking 4 days of care.
A great deal is learned in the first few years![]()
