I do not think it is unreasonable for a provider to have in the handbook some paid sick days/personal days, and a paid vacation. Parents expect that from their employers, why shouldn't providers be given the same. Although I do believe that it depends on what is the normal practice in your area. Here, we do not get sick days, paid holidays. I think we are entitled to it, but it is not the norm for here. I think if you have a good provider and she becomes ill or is off a day here or there for sickness, I think it is a good gesture that the parents pay their provider for these days.

But, back to the original question, I don't think it is correct for the provider to think you should have to pay when she is off for an extended period of time. A day or two here or there is one thing, a week or more is asking quite a bit.
