When you need someone to watch over your child, you may start looking for a good babysitter in your area. However, babysitters may not be the best option for your temporary childcare needs. Non-traditional babysitting focuses on providing your child with a safe and supervised place to play with many benefits that hiring a babysitter doesn’t have. Here are three of the top advantages of our non-traditional babysitting approach.
- Socialization opportunities. When you hire a babysitter, your child only has one other person (aside from siblings) to socialize with while you’re gone. Children benefit greatly from socialization with kids their age, as it allows them to learn valuable social skills and make new friends, both of which are things that aren’t really possible with traditional babysitting.
- Access to more toys and games. It’s unlikely that any babysitter you hire has as many toys and games that we have here at KidSpot. Children get bored easily, so being able to play with new things they don’t have at home is great for their imagination and enjoyment. Rather than limit them to the same toys they always see at home, take them to our play center for access to toys they don’t usually get to play with.
- No cancellations from a babysitter. Your ability to enjoy a date night with your spouse rests greatly on the health of your babysitter. If your babysitter calls out sick or cancels for any other reason at the last minute, your evening may be ruined due to lack of childcare. Non-traditional babysitting through a temporary childcare center means that your child is guaranteed to have a place to play while you’re gone without having to worry about a single babysitter’s schedule conflicting with your own.
