Infant fee verses toddler fee

[Spixie33]

I have some providers in my area who advertise a wage of around $35 for under 2 and then $30 for 2 and up.

I don't get it. at first I was thinking that maybe they are factoring all the diaper changes for the little ones but now that I am in the midst of toilet training 2 and 3 year olds I think diapers are actually easier and less messy than toilet training and accidents all over the place.

I charge the same price for everyone here regardless of age and I can't imagine how a 2 year old or a 3 year old is less work. Sure the toddlers get more independent but then you have to still be vigilant with them because they are trying more dangerous play equipment, wanting more interaction and 1 on 1 time, voicing complaints about food or going inside or outside etc. lol There is no easy age imo

I have two fees one for a child in diapers and another fee for children who are completely trained. I offer it as an incentive for Parents to get their little ones toilet trained. ( when they are ready of course).
