As a safety precaution, Project Date Night only works with parents who are fully COVID vaccinated and whose children’s age-appropriate vaccinations are up to date. Please let us know if your child is not vaccinated – whether due to medical reasons or age restrictions – so we can ensure we can most safely accommodate your needs.

  • the exact information of your child’s schedule for the time you are away, including meal plan and $ for food shopping/activities if necessary;
  • the essential school information, including access to the school’s communication system; the sitter should also be listed at school as an emergency contact for when parents are traveling;

SAFETY

THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILDREN AND OUR BABYSITTERS IS OF THE  UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO US.

We take all the necessary precautions due to COVID-19 to keep everyone safe. All babysitters associated with PDN are fully COVID vaccinated. We also keep up with the current CDC and NYC COVID recommendations. We utilize testing whenever needed, alongside temperature taking, wearing masks, hand washing, and using hand sanitizer. We strongly recommend that each home has readily available soap and antibacterial sanitizer for our babysitters. All babysitters at PDN are also fully CPR certified and trained regularly concerning safety protocols around children, including crib and stroller safety, as well as home childproofing.

CAR FEE & CAR SERVICE

WE KINDLY ASK OUR FAMILIES TO PROVIDE SITTERS WITH A CAR RIDE HOME AFTER THE EVENING SHIFTS OR TO COVER A TRANSPORT FEE OF $15 FOR SITTERS THAT DRIVE TO EVENING SHIFTS.

This ensures the safety of our team. The suggested time to provide a car home is around 9pm. Please consider scheduling a car ahead of time to avoid price hikes. If the price of the car home is over $50 we suggest waiting for a short period and trying again when prices go down.
Sitters driving to you for evening coverage will add $25 to Venmo’s request to cover the cost of gas and tolls.
