Want More Afternoon Child Watch Hours at the Y??

By , 3 September, 2010, 2 Comments

If you belong to the Dodge Y and use the Child Watch babysitting service–a great deal for just $5 an hour per child–you know it’s been a battle to get afternoon hours. But thanks to everyone who called and emailed, we finally got one full day of babysitting going (that would be Wednesdays until 6pm. The rest of the week it is open from 9am to 2pm). Earlier this week, I spoke with one of the new managers over there to find out if we could add more hours and she mentioned that if enough people emailed their interest, she would be happy to do something about it. We did it before, so let’s do it again! If you’d like more afternoon babysitting, email Ann Fosteris at afosteris@ymcanyc.org .

    I am surprised they think there is no interest. When I dropped my son off on Wednesday afternoon at 5:00pm there were four other children in the room already. Obviously there is interest. I just wrote to tell her this. Thanks for posting this.

    Right? This is the email I got:

    Hello,
    Every fall we revert to our typical fall schedule which ends babysitting at 2pm. I apologize if this wasn’t clear. In the fall, there is little attendance in the evening hours due to after school programs and various other activities for the children. The signs are posted regarding the fall hours. If there is indeed interest for extended hours, we will attempt it again as we spoke about the other day. I hope this helps.

    Thanks for letting her know!!

    Ann
