Special Event, Wedding, Hotel, and Church Childcare

  • Wedding Childcare: Many brides wonder what they should do about wedding babysitting services for their wedding. We can either provide individual hotel babysitters that your guests can book for their individual room, or you can choose to provide event childcare.

  • Convention, Conference, and Event Childcare: Make your conference, convention, or wedding an even bigger hit by providing themed event babysitter services for the children (ages 0-12). Our event babysitters transform a plain room into a themed play center of puzzles, blocks, coloring books, age-appropriate arts and crafts, movies, music and dance, jewelry making, picture frame-making, painting, books, face painting and more. We also fully staff it with an event coordinator and an energetic team of caregivers.

  • Hotel Childcare: When you are traveling to Houston, we understand that it can make you nervous to schedule a hotel babysitter for your childcare needs. Our hotel babysitting services will put you at ease, as our extensively screened caregivers provide fun, safe, worry-free care for your children at your place of lodging. Every hotel babysitter brings fun and imagination to every job.

  • Church Childcare: Whether it’s a weekly Sunday service, a special event, a holiday, or a community gathering, we provide screened sitters so that every member of your congregation can actively participate with peace of mind.
