POLICIES & CANCELLATIONS

• Credit card details are taken to start the process of reserving the best sitter to fit your schedule and needs.
• There is no charge or setup fee when booking a sitter.
• Your reservation may be nonrefundable at the time of the booking.
• Cancellations made within 48 hours of a reservation incur a full charge.
• Holiday reservations cancelled within 7 days of the start time incur a full charge.
• The above mentioned cancelation policies include cancelation due to sickness and all other reasons.
• For multiple bookings, the minimum hours required and cancellation policy will vary. See "Flex Time" below.
• If the kids are 3 years old or younger the child to sitter ratio is 2-1.

Flex Time

• "Flex Time" allows you to cancel 1 hour per 8 hours booked at no cost.
• "Flex Time" is available only if you are requesting the same sitter for multiple segments, and you must book that sitter for approximately 24 hours or greater.
• 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 & COVID 19 Policy

Masks are currently not required. Due to the continued uncertainty, 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 our sitters.

Care 4 Kids Precautions

• We are encourage all sitters to get the Covid and seasonal flu vaccine but it is optional. We ask all non-vaccinated sitters and customers to please wear a mask during service.
• 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 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 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 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 may be asked if the children or anyone residing at your location has any Covid or flu like symptoms.
• Not disclosing any Covid or flu like symptoms 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.
• Our sitters reserve the right to leave upon arrival with full pay if Covid or 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.

If my sitter becomes ill

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