Hygiene

[Suzie_Homemaker]

This very tricky because personal hygiene is personal issue.

Sure, most people wash, shower, bath every day but not every person does. That not make them bad people just they have less priority with hygiene that what is seems normal. But normal is different to all.

Yes I understand it not nice but do you give discount to extra clean kids? It slippy slope to apply own standards to others.

Maybe you don't wash your bedding as many times as I do mine. Maybe you don't wash your curtain as many times as I do mine. Maybe you don't mop your floor as many times as I do mine. Does that mean I label you as bad hygiene person or does it just mean we are different?

If you charging more for people who fall under your standard, then surely you charge less to people who better than your standard? That would be fair, yes? Those who make extra work pay more those who don't pay less. This is your standard?

I just think some kids smell more. Some are cleaner. Some walk younger. Some speaker quicker. But we charge fee and understand different scopes for different things for different people. I not know any other service that charge extra for silly things. What next? Hair salon charge more to wash long hair because more shampoo. Cafe charge more if people leave food on plate because it needs scraping and washing. Window cleaner charge more for glass with birdie poop on than other panes. It seem like nickle and dimes and rip off client to me.

I think that she is more then able to charge more if this child is taking more time to clean up in he morning. If for what ever reason, the parents aren't able to do their job, why shouldn't we be paid more to do it?
I have in my contract that if a child doesn't come ready for the day, parents are charged a Wake up and get ready fee, of 5 - 20 dollars depending on the extra time and effort that is required of me.
In response to your hair salon comments, yes there are different fees for different levels of time, effort and cost applied to that client. What exactly is your point?
Just the same, we all run our business the way which suits our families and needs, and looking for advice does not warren sarcasm, or nastiness.
