If she hadn't signed the contract, then she could pay $75 a month for 3 months, but she signed a contract. Personally, I would notify her that she signed a contract and needs to start paying the full amount now because it seems like she's already kind of stringing you along. It's not like she signed, gave you an exact start date, and stuck with it. I wouldn't trust that she's for sure going to bring the baby at all, so I wouldn't want to lose out on money. Especially since you turned down another family. I would tell her that straight up...you are running a business and you can't afford to hold her spot week after week and turn down someone who would pay the full amount now. If she doesn't understand the logic of this, I wouldn't want to provide childcare for her anyways. Just my opinion!
