Wait, I'm confused :confused:. Who's unreliable????
You, the daycare provider that is available on the days that they are CONTRACTED for or the parents who both failed to tell you that they would be needing you when they had plenty of notice in advance and just assumed that you were going to take their child.
For me this would definitely be a discussion.
"Hi Susan. I was thinking about yesterday and realized that there is some confusion in what you think my responsibilities are so I wanted to clarify. I am only guaranteed to be available for Little Johnny on the days that we have contracted which are [dates] from [times] like in our contract agreement. Any other days that you need to add on are not guaranteed so it's best to let me know with as much advance notice as possible so that I can save a spot for you. If you would like me to have a spot for Little Johnny all the time every day of the week then I can do that but that means you will need to pay for a full-time spot. Otherwise other days that you are not contracted for depend on availability. You can't assume that I will always have room because I take drop-ins occasionally and I sometimes don't have room on the days that Little johnny isn't usually here."
I'd hope that she mentions something about how she can't help it if they get called in on short notice then I'd reply with ...
"Yes that's very true and unfortunately if I am full on a day like that I won't be able to accommodate Little Johnny. As for yesterday, well .... that wasn't the case. Your cousin Ralph mentioned that the schedules were handed out last Wednesday."
