FAQs
Can I offer my guests childcare at their hotel rooms?
Absolutely! This is ideal when your event is adults-only and you want guests to have childcare, but your venue does not have a space for children. Your guests reserve childcare by completing our registration form here. Registration includes a one-time payment of $35, our $25 daily booking charge, and the sitter’s hourly rate. Our visitor hourly rates begin at $35 per hour for 1 child.
Your guests enjoy peace of mind knowing that our sitters are screened and reliable, and they don’t need to look for childcare on their own in an unfamiliar city.
How many sitters will I need?
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 light games and activities. You are welcome to keep these items after your event, if desired, your guests can take them home, or our sitters will collect them to keep or donate. We often find that parents have already packed small toys and activities for their child.
Primarily, sitters use creative ideas and enthusiasm to engage children. We keep games and toys light in order to reduce overstimulation and waste.
