My child has better hygiene than those of my
sister; neither of her boys ever seem to wash
their hands.

I feel the correct ans will be
My child has better hygiene than my
sister's children; neither of her boys ever seem to wash
their hands.

IMO,

My child has better hygiene than that of my
sister; neither of her boys ever seem to wash
their hands.

"Neither" refers to one at a time so the verb must be "seems". Also, you have to compare children to children, not children to hygiene. A correct form would be:

My child has better hygiene than do my sister's children; neither of her boys ever seems to wash his hands.
