I provide part time care to a sibling set on Monday and Tuesday. It was the only availability I could offer this family at the time. Now that I have a family leaving at the end of the month I want to change her days so that all the kids are here on the same day so I can work less....at least for the summer. Right now I have part time kids but I am working 5 days a week.
The issue I am having is that Mom runs her own business and books clients based on when her kids are in care. I have mentioned switching days a few months back and she seemed open to the idea but seems afraid of losing her clients. I feel like clients will come whenever she is open and the day is not a huge deal. She agreed but again no confirmation. I wrote her a message a few weeks ago and she just ignored it.
How would you word an email to her about it. I really want to hint at the fact that I may need to term if she doesn't switch but don't want to come out and say that. She is a good client and I don't want her to leave, but at the same time I want more time off. Why work part time 5 days a week kwim?
