If so I charge for the first 4 weeks, and every week thereafter.
*Enrolled or *Not enrolled are my only options.

Originally posted by amberrose3dg View PostCharge for every week is the only option . In my opinion that is the only way you can realistically do it. They are asking that you lose half your income on that spot if they do not want to pay for it. A couple of years ago I did this with a parent who shared custody. It did not work out well. Honestly you can fill the spot with a child that will be there every week .

They are taking up a full time slot. They pay for a full time slot. They can attend anytime they'd like.
Your bills stay the same whether they are there are not. To give them a break is taking that income from your own family. Your family must come first for you. Theirs will always come first for them.
Daycare is not a charity.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

It is totally up to you how you conduct your business so what do you want to do?
If I thought this was a good arrangement for me I would charge them for the two weeks they were here only and they would pay that whether they attended those two weeks or not. You could also charge them a flat rate for the whole month and charge 50% of the rate for the other weeks or you could charge a full time rate since you can always get another kid to do that and not have to lose income. Charging a full time rate for part time attendance works best for you but it is whatever you feel comfortable with. They are taking up a full time spot but I only do part time somit might work for me and how I run my business
