babysitting at gymnastics meets

Hey Kyle Shewfelt.

Here’s an idea for your competition this weekend. Offer babysitting for $5 drop-in.

Gymdad2:

… When we put on a meet we include a playroom for little siblings with a couple of volunteers as sitters/monitors. It really helps with the excess energy and/or boredom that the little ones may have and it frees up mom/dad to enjoy the meet. It has been a successful addition to our meets and we have had some very positive feedback from parents about it. …

That’s from a good thread on Chalk BucketVent/rant about munchkins out of control at meets (and gym!)

Kids in the spectator area at meets can be annoying, distracting and sometimes dangerous.
