Thank you Suzie. I do understand that once I give enough warning, their options are to either accept it or find care elsewhere. My main concern with whether or not I should do it is if would be morally wrong to change the rules after I already stated otherwise. I have another family who doesn’t take advantage of it like the other family does, & this new policy would be mostly geared towards them (but of course the same rules would have to apply to everyone). The other family will tell me if she’s just going to be away one day & won’t imply that she’s “sick”.

I will also of course give plenty warning by sending out an email December 28 with a new handbook/contract stating the new policy changes will take effect February 1st. Also, in this email, should I state that if it isn’t accepted then the other option is to find other arrangements?
