Vacation Daycare

Posted by Carla Snuggs Jul 7, 2008

As I was preparing for my trip to Cabo San Lucas and going over some of the particulars, a smile came across my face as I realized my resort is “adults only”. Hoorah!

Then, as my slight attention deficit disorder began to kick in, I thought about parents who need vacation daycare and what their options for childcare might be since I’m always interested in new and emerging childcare trends.

In my research I came across a handful of vacation childcare sites. One such site is Babysitters Los Cabos. If you are vacationing in Los Cabos, Mexico you can make a reservation with this company which claims to provide high-level child-care services, on a 24-hour basis. The sitters are supposedly trained in CPR, childcare, and first aid.

So, say you have a day of parasailing ahead or a romantic evening planned and you need childcare. You can arrange to have your child(ren) taken care of by their babysitting services for a particular window of time, anytime of the day.

I am by no means endorsing or condemning this service. I’m just letting my readers know what’s out there.

I would suggest exercising caution, as with any childcare service, and I would advise you to do your research and evaluate your options carefully. I’m not sure how I would feel about leaving my kids with an unknown babysitter in another country, but it is a convenient option for some parents. Apparently, this is now a trend toward vacation childcare that may warrant some consideration and/or investigation.

Hope you’re having a great summer so far
