Are you organising an event? Whether it’s a wedding, family get together, tech conference or network marketing events, it’s always a good option to provide child care services in the event. Event babysitting will help your attendees to enjoy the event without worrying about their kids.
And surprisingly, it has become a trend used by event managers to increase their attendance and support diversity.
So if you are ready to bring childcare services to your event, here are some crucial key points you must keep in mind:
Location
The first and most important thing you need to take care of is the babysitting location- where the event babysitting services will take care of the children. Choose a room with enough space so that children can move around freely. Also, remove all the unnecessary furniture, expensive or breakable items from there to increase space and improve the kids’ safety. Also, if your attendees are bringing young kids, go for basic childproofing ( socket covers, gates, etc.)
Gear
You can either ask the parents to bring their own or rent them from a good baby gear rental service. Moreover don’t forget to confirm this thing from your child care services. There are chances that they might also provide gears in their package. This will help you save some extra cost.
Activities
The best way to keep kids happy on your premises is by entertaining them. You can ask your childcare agency to send some babysitters who are experts in conducting fun activities so that the children don’t get bored while their parents are enjoying themselves. Because it’s obvious that after the event is over, the parents will ask their kids if they had fun or not?
Their child’s NO will directly impact your image. And if you want to avoid that, make sure you take proper care of the kids’ entertainment. From offering toys to convert the whole babysitting space into a play zone, there are so many things you can do to set a good impression on not only the parents but also their kids. They will come to every event with their kids properly taken care of. So don’t compromise on that.
Snacks
Kids sized snacks are always a crowd-pleaser. However, when choosing the catering list, always make sure that it’s healthy and safe for the kids. The keyword here is “safe”. Kids are allergic to many things. And if they got sick by eating the food you provided, you might get into big trouble.
To avoid that, ask your babysitting services if they are willing to provide kids snacks and refreshments. If they are not, then ask them to be your consultant while you are listing out the menu. They have a good idea of what’s healthy and safe for kids. With their help, you can choose the right food for the children.
