What Do You Have Parents Provide?

[bklsmum]

Seasonally appropriate change of clothes, 2 for infants, a sweatshirt that must be kept here and a swimsuit, hat, and sandals that must be kept here during the summer and snow gear that must be kept here during the winter. I give them the option to have me provide these things for a fee but they can bring them. I provide everything else including Luvs diapers and Parent's Choice formula. If they want a diff brand of diapers and/or formula then they must provide it.

I have them provide nothing other than extra clothing. I provide diapers, wipes, food/formula, diaper creams, sunscreen, swimsuits-everything. I got tired of begging parents to bring supplies and having them forget. I figured that it costs me about $7 a week extra to provide these things, and I raised my rates by $17.50 to cover the expenses. I come out ahead, I never run out of supplies, the parents are happy that they don't have to remember to bring supplies and I'm happy that I no longer have to beg them for diapers!

I do the same. Scary at first. Life altering after the initial investment. happyface

It was part of my "Simplify" process after a pretty rough bout with burnout.

BTDT but most won't return them anyways or they forget.
Charge a "lease" or "rental" fee instead.

If items are no returned freshly laundered within 5 business days the parent is automatically charged $20.

That's an expensive pair of used sweatpants if the forget to return them
