FAQs
Can I just offer my guests childcare at their hotel rooms?
Absolutely! This is ideal when you want your guests to have childcare options but your venue will not have a space for children. Your guests reserve childcare by completing our registration form here. Registration includes a one-time payment of $50, our $25 daily booking charge, and the sitter’s hourly rate. Our visitor hourly rate is $35 per hour for 1 to 4 children.
Your guests enjoy peace of mind knowing that they can count on our screened and reliable sitters, and won’t need to find childcare on their own in an unfamiliar city.
How many sitters will I need?
We have a 2-sitter minimum for safety. Two sitters can typically care for up to 8 children depending on the space, the children’s ages, and their needs. We have a ratio of 1 sitter per 2 children for children under the age of two years old.
For large events, your reservation will include a lead sitter who supervises the event as a whole and is not necessarily assigned to a group of children.
My guests need strollers or cribs. Do you offer these?
Guests can rent great items locally in Broomfield, CO with Baby Quip! Broomfield is centrally located between Boulder and Denver and Baby Quip can deliver.
Do you provide activities or toys?
Yes, we bring along great games, toys, and activities, as well as using creative ideas and enthusiasm to engage children. If your event is 4 hours or more and includes children under the age of 5, we may include a soft play zone with ball pit in pricing estimate.
