Flex Time

• When "Flex Time" is in effect the normal 48 hour cancellation policy is not in effect.
• Example: If you have 24 hours reserved with the same sitter, this allows you 3 hours of "Flex Time" to cancel from your reservation at no cost. The minimum charge would be for 21 hours, nonrefundable.
• Once a credit card has been given to hold a sitter, this policy is in effect as scheduling begins right away.
• We would like to provide some flexibility to you and we need to guarantee a full work week to the sitter, so we offer "Flex Time" as a benefit to both parties

Sick Policy

Masks are currently not required. Please check in your confirmation email for details relating your particular reservation. We do not serve sick children. During flu season we experience an increase of requests for babysitters. More families may avoid group childcare or a nursery setting in order to lessen the risks of illness during their vacation. We have the following precautions in order to promote our commitment to good health for your family and the sitters.

Care 4 Kids Precautions

• It is the choice of each independent contrator as to wether or not they get any vaccinations. If you have any specific requests please let us know and we can ask a sitter what vaccines they may or may not have.
• We will disclose any illnesses in your party to all potential sitters prior to confirming a reservation and leave the choice to accept or decline the job 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 the sitters and other clientele.
• If the sitter or children from with whom the sitters has recently babysat for has contagious symptoms, we will put that sitter on hold status. We will not utilize their services if we suspect they have anything contagious.
• We have a strict policy with the sitters to not accept job offers from us and alert us if they are not well.
• If we become aware that the scheduled sitter has, or has been exposed to, any illness, we will disclose it to you and let you decide if you would like us to attempt to replace the sitter.

Information for Parents:

• Upon making a booking directly with a Care 4 Kids agent you may be asked if the children or anyone residing at your location has any symptoms of an illness.
• Not disclosing any symptoms of an illness, of anyone in your traveling party, to the concierge or booking agent, may result in the remainder of your reservations being cancelled with out a refund.
• The sitters reserve the right to leave upon arrival with full pay if illness symptoms are apparent in anyone residing at the accommodation and were not disclosed upon booking. The sitters have been recommended to contact us immediately if this situation arises.

If my sitter becomes ill

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