Good afternoon!
I have a family that wants to hold 2 spots for sept, I usually ask for 2 weeks deposit which is considered 2 weeks of care, but never had sibling.
What do some of view do in this case?

Siblings are always a risk. If one is sick, they're both out sick. If ones on vacay, they're both out. And worst of all, if one leaves... you've lost 2 incomes. YUCK!
In saying that, I have 2 sets starting in the fall as well. LOL I couldn't help it. They're 2 existing kids, both with new siblings.
I think you just have to make sure you prepare and have good policies protecting yourself. Paid vacay, paid sick days, take a decent deposit and hold it for when they give notice so you have a good buffer as you'll be trying to replace 2 kids, not just one. And be upfront with mom. Let her know the risk a dayhome takes when they take on siblings and you've factored that in.
I don't hold spots that long. What if it doesn't work out? There is a lot of build up to just can them after 30 days.
Opps I think I am loosing my mind ~ are there two of these same post cause I swear I answered this exact question already today?
