I understand, that really stinks. If you are going to take this client, try o make it as easy for you as possible. have them bring breakfast, so all you have to do is plate ( or what about charging them an early start/ breakfast fee), when they come in have them lay down until your regular start time. ect.
When i open early for a family, it is an extra 20 dollars, no questions. They also know hat said child must lay down and either read a book, or watch cartoons, and hat I open he door in my jammies. . Every time this has happened, parents aways have a cup of coffee with them, and are always very very grateful.
