OUR FLU PRECAUTIONS

Due to the current flu situation we are expecting an increase of requests for babysitters. More families may avoid group childcare or a nursery setting in order to lessen the risks of illness and enjoy their vacation to the fullest. We want to help you feel confident in using Care 4 Kids for your childcare.

Care 4 Kids Precautions

• We are encouraging all sitters to get both Seasonal and H1N1 Flu vaccines.
• We will disclose any illnesses in your party to all potential sitters prior to securing a reservation and leave the choice to accept or decline to the sitters.
• Unfortunately, we may not be able to fill requests when there is an illness in your family as we need to protect the wellness of our sitters and other clientele.
• If our sitter or children for whom one of our sitters has recently babysat shows symptoms of the flu, we will put that sitter on hold status. This means we will not utilize their services if we suspect they have the flu.
• We have a strict policy with our sitters to alert us if they are not well.
• If we become aware that your scheduled sitter has or been exposed to any illness, we will disclose it to you and let you decide if you would like to change sitters.

Information for Parents:

• Upon making a booking directly with a Care 4 Kids agent you will be asked if the children or anyone residing at your location has flu like symptoms.
• Not disclosing any flu like symptoms to the concierge or booking agent may result in the remainder of the reservation being cancelled until symptoms are gone.
• Our sitters reserve the right to leave upon arrival with full pay if flu like symptoms are apparent in anyone residing at the accommodation and were not disclosed upon booking. Our sitters have been instructed to contact us immediately if this situation arises.

Current bookings

• If you have a booking for multiple days with the same sitter and that sitter becomes ill, we will replace him/her. Do to time and availability, we may have to adjust the reservation with multiple sitters.
