Hold your ground. The one time this happened to me, where parent lost job I held them to the 2 weeks. I did tell them if I was able to find somebody to start before their 2 weeks was up then I would let them know and not charge them for those overlapping days. But I didnt go out of my way to make sure it got filled with just anyone so I never had anyone start in that 2 weeks.

Plus I require a weeks deposit at the start of care that they can use for the last week of care, with 2 weeks notice, so really they are only out the one week.
