    She may have thought she could get through the day but than got sicker or realized she couldn't properly look after the kids and made the call to close. Yes the timing is inconvenient but when you're sick you're sick! What if she had opened and than closed at noon and called for pickup? Would you still be as annoyed?

    IMO, if you can't afford for this to happen again, (which is what you said) than I hope your new daycare is a centre. Home daycare providers WILL need time off and WILL have sick days and unless you have backup care, it WILL inconvenience you but there's nothing you can do about it. That's just life.

    I would follow up on your end of the agreement and pay her what is legally owed and than move on. Sounds like she offered good care to your son but unfortunately, your personalities didn't match and that's okay!! We don't have to like everyone but we should respect them and their rules in their home/business.

    As a side note, I have in my contract that a sub MAY be used if I can find one but it's not a guarantee! What does your contract specifically say in regard to her time off?
