Question 4

Does my child have to participate in the Art projects?

Accepted Answer

I notice that your service includes art projects. However, my child is 6 months old.  Would I get a discount because she can’t participate"?
Unfortunately, the cost will remain the same, our art projects are just an added part of the service. If a child is not interested in doing arts-n-crafts they certainly don’t have to. It's just there for added fun. However, I find most kids love the activities and will participate eagerly.

Question 8

Should I bring my kids with me on a conference?

Accepted Answer

Conferences and meetings that are required by job management have greater attendance when they can bring their children! There is enough stress having someone take care of them when you are away. But knowing they are close and being cared for by a fully qualified caregiver gives you complete “Peace of Mind” and then you have the freedom after work to enjoy time with your family and see the many beautiful sights on the Monterey Peninsula!  We got you!

Question 10

Can I rent baby gear locally?

Yes, you can leave the bulky baby gear at home. Traveling with a baby means packing a lot of stuff.
