    I agree with 3rdtimescharm. I always help out parents too. I have had parents forget stuff including diapers and I borrow from another child and replace when the child remembers their stuff. If it's once or twice then I think it's ok, a daycare family, like u said a personal touch of home daycare. Although that being said if it's a wk of reminders and using another child's diapers then that be more taken advantage of you. After that wk I'd turn away care till diapers came. Got to draw a line somewhere right.

    Some parents deserve favors and others don't. I've had parents who are really considerate and appreciative of me so if they drop the ball every so often I don't make a big deal of it and try to help if I can. Unfortunatly though there are other parents who have taken advantage of my kindness or mistaken it for weakness before so I am careful of whom I "help out" and who I dont.

    In my experience doing little favors here and there makes some parents think I am leniant and flexible and next thing you know my policies also go out the window and parents think things like "Fun&care is so cool about everything, I'm sure she won't mind us bringing Sally in even though she is puking".

    We've all had different experiences and those are largely going to affect how we view the topic but in my years of doing daycare, me being nice=me being screwed.

    Yes. That's true. U can definitely tell a parent u can "help" vs a parent you should NOT help. Lol. We all live and learn.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
