Last week on Friday I had a dck suddenly out with the flu after having been with me open to close all week. I only had one other kid scheduled to come that day since my others were on vacation. I texted the parent of the scheduled kid just minutes before she was due to drop off and explained I had one out with a confirmed case of flu and asked if she still wanted to bring her child. She opted to keep her home and allow me time to disinfect the house. I didn’t charge her for the day because I felt she did me a favor by keeping her child home and allowing me to scrub my house top to bottom. She tried to pay me anyway and I refused. Normally I would charge simply based off the fact that I was open and they had the option to come if they wanted but I waived her fee simply out of gratitude. I did charge the parent whose child was out with flu.
