What if it was an emergency? What about the other numbers? Does she not have a backup for cases like that? I can understand having a delay in picking up on occasion, but on day 3? I'd be very worried about future problems.
If I had a single mom who just moved to the area and doesn't have anyone else as backup, I might consider it, but otherwise, I'd expect to be able to get someone quickly at any time while the child is in care.
