If you can afford to lose the kids or fill their spots quickly I would just eliminate all unpaid days so that she doesn’t try to push back more if you offer 5 etc etc. Good luck!
Yup I've had 3 families up and leave over being told no or that they have to pay me like they thought care was free or something.
Start interviewing for replacements and then tell them no more free days. They leave or complain fill the spots.
