This is too good to be true! But what about….?
Does it cost anything to attend a Lullaby League mixer?
- Moms attending the mixer pay a $50 registration fee ($55 with HST). With this fee you will receive The Lullaby List which compiles all of the babysitters resumes, meet over a dozen babysitting candidates as well as other moms in your area and have a fun night out. Cash, cheque or Pay Pal accepted. Babysitting candidates do not pay a fee to attend.
Does Lullaby League do any background checks on the babysitters?
- No screening or background checks have been done on any of the babysitters (or families for that matter). We all are meeting for the first time at the Lullaby League mixer so it is up to all of you to do whatever screening process you feel necessary. The great thing about Lullaby League is that you have at least met the person, had a mini interview and got a sense about them…more than you can say than if you were to answer an ad in the paper! If you would like more info on obtaining a police records check please see the Vancouver Police Department website.
Nanny vs. babysitter-Can Lullaby League help with both?
- Lullaby League is really about part-time and occasional babysitting jobs. Remember, most of our babysitters are students, so they will be working around their class schedule. Lullaby League is not a nanny service so if you are looking for a very specific schedule and have no flexibility this might not be the service for you.
- The range in the Vancouver area seems to be between $10-$15 an hour depending on how many kids, ages, etc. The rates are determined and agreed upon between the moms and babysitter.
- You bet! Our mixers have sold out in a matter of days so please contact us to see if we have any space available.
-
All parent cancellations must be make at least 48 hours in advance and will result in a $25 cancellation fee. If a cancellation is made under 48 hours prior to the start of the mixer, there is no refund. Let us know as soon as you can if you can not make it so we can let the moms on our waiting list know. For sitter candidates, if they don’t show up to a mixer (and have not contacted us ahead of time to let us know) they will not be allowed to participate in any future events. As our mixers fill up quickly, we take our registration seriously and don’t appreciate “no shows”.
- No, No and No! You can not share The Lullaby List or any resumes with anyone… Seriously-Not anyone! Typically the sitters are young students and they need to feel comfortable and confident that their information is only shown to the appropriate people. Feel free to tell all of your friends about Lullaby League so that they too can meet the perfect babysitter.
Is this a paid membership to the Lullaby League?
- No it is not. The fee you pay is to attend one event. With that fee you receive The Lullaby List that includes all of the babysitters resumes from the evening. You have a chance to meet other moms, have a few sips and snacks and have a great night out.
Can I bring my children to a Lullaby League event?
- Sorry but you are gonna have to leave the little darlings at home. Because we hold our mixers at various boutiques and salons around town we need to be respectful of their space. We could all use a bit of a break so enjoy the time without guilt and get the most out of the Lullaby League mixer.
