Discount for siblings?

[gramma]

I've done it before for some and not for others. Generally, there has to be something in it for me to agree to a discount. In April i will have the younger sibling of a child currently in my care starting with me and mom has asked about a discount. I would have no problem filling this space with a full rate child but mom is changing her work hours and will be dropping off at 8am and pickin up at 3:45 so for me, there is value in having those 2 kids gone that early because 1 of my other kids is gone at 4:00. That leaves me with 2 kids who go home anywhere between 4:30 and 5:00. So basically, 3 of my 5 kids will be gone by 4pm so for me it was worth it.
I agree with what others have said but you need to evaluate your situation. Do you have to fill the spots quickly? Can you afford to wait? Have you had many other calls? Not to say that you should take them out of desperation but sometimes we have to do those things. I wouldnt agree to deep discount, afterall, center only offer 10% off the second child. You could also not allow as many vacation days or some paid sick days for you for this client or something along those lines to make up the difference
