    Hell no! The sibling eats as much food, uses as many supplies, requires as much attention and takes a full space that could be otherwise occupied by someone else paying full rates. Kudos to those who offer a few bucks off as incentive. I can't justify that within my budget....way too much money lost. I don't generally like bringing on siblings anyway. Once that family leaves, it's a huge gap in my income. Typically, I only take on singles. If a sibling arrives during their time here, we'll sort it out, but at full rates

    Nope, I don't offer sibling discounts. Siblings are higher risk. If ones sick, they usually both are. If one is on vacay, they both are. If one leaves, I have to replace 2 spots. I much prefer to have 5 individual families.

    I had a mom ask about a discount for her twin one year olds. I said not unless they are Siamese twins because everyone else is full rate, heh heh.

    no discount here. Ive only done it once to a family I know well and I watched 3 of their children so they took a large part of my income. for all the reasons already stated, I wont do it again

    Nope. No discounts. You chose to have kids, so then you have to pay for them!!!! lol

    Why should I take a cut in MY salary to care for YOUR kids?! No thanks....

    No, no discounts for anyone - ever. Two kids, related or not, cost the same amount to care for. Therefore the fee is the same.

    I personally think it's insulting to be asked for a discount. It tells me they don't value what I offer.
