As a customer, I would never even have the gall to ask my daycare provider. If I need care outside my provider's hours, I hire a babysitter or ask a neighbor or request a play date with a friend where I can drop off (and tell Mom beforehand about it and make sure she's cool with it). You should call her back and cancel and tell her that you've thought about it and if you do it for her, then you'd have to start sitting on weekends for everyone else and that is not going to work and tell her that your policy is firm - no babysitting after hours. And I wouldn't apologize either - your 32 weeks pregnant and I'm sure she's fully aware that her kid is a handful which is why she can't get anyone else to take her kid. She should have made sure she had back up day care and evening babysitting care when she had a kid like I did.
