Legal Question in Consumer Law in New Mexico

I had my child with an in-home childcare provider. He fell from his highchair. She and I discussed and agreed that he would be buckled into highchair from there on out. I withdrew my child without notice after finding him in highchair unbuckled 2 times after our agreement. She is now wanting 2 weeks pay that is stated in contract in lieu of 2 weeks notice. Do I have to pay her, given that there were safety concerns in the home?

Firing for cause does not usually carry any benefits with it. 2 weeks notice is usually provided for the termination of services no longer required for a reason other than non-performance. A precise answer to your question requires a review of the contract you mention.
