Multi-family Rate

FAMILIES SHARING A BOOKING & CHILDREN FROM OTHER FAMILIES

We understand that multiple families traveling together may wish to share a booking. Each family must complete a new client registration and sign a service agreement. Families are permitted to share one sitter, provided that the booking adheres to our child-to-sitter ratio. To add children to your booking, please contact the agency directly at (303) 749-1168 no later than 24 hours before your booking’s start time.

Children named in your account must be your own. Please do not include another family’s child in your registration form or account. 

Sitters are reserved to care for the children listed in your original booking request. If additional children are present when the sitter arrives, the sitter may or may not be able to provide care for them. While sitters strive to be accommodating, if they agree to care for an unregistered child at the start time of your booking, the following fees will be applied to your card on file:

  • An added $35 per hour to compensate the sitter for the added responsibility without prior notice

  • A $150 service fee for the addition of an unregistered family without prior notice

  • Associated credit card processing fee (2.9% + 30 cents) for these payments

We strongly recommend that all families register in advance to avoid added charges.

Payment for Hotel Parking or Valet

Please reimburse your sitter if they use paid parking for safe parking near your hotel. In some cases, valet parking is the only option. In some cases, your hotel may waive the valet fee for your childcare service provider.

Mileage Payment for Transporting Your Child

If your sitter drives your child in their personal vehicle, please reimburse them at 67 cents per mile, the 2024 IRS rate. Your sitter will track this mileage and include it in the total due when your booking is complete.
