So, she is paying you for 4 days a week? Are you giving her any type of discount over what you would charge a child who comes 4 days a week every week?
I have a mom who only uses 3-4 days a week, and it changes week to week. She pays for a full time slot. And she is free to use any and all of the days during the week.
If you are giving a discount based on not using all the days, then she needs to pay more. But, if she is paying for all the days, then I think she should be allowed to use them. I would require her to give me her schedule in advance and reserve the right to give away her spot on days that she didn't schedule.
