Prepare for team recess

Clothing

Dress for Success--our team will too!!

Team Recess is committed to outdoor playtime! No matter the weather, please have your child ready to play all day. An extra raincoat, sweater, or down jacket always comes in handy.

Snacks

Please prepare your child for Team Recess with a snack (or two). We guarantee no time spent inside, which also includes trips to the pantry. ;) Don't forget a water bottle!

Fees

Team Recess will be outdoors with your child(ren) for 1-5 hours. We charge $25 per hour.

All transfers will be completed through the Venmo App! If you don't already have this app, it is simple to install and set up. Through the app, credit cards, debit cards, and bank accounts can be added to move money quickly and easily. When sending money with credit card, a small fee is added to your charge, but with debit and bank accounts, there are no additional fees.

To pay Team Recess, you will send money through Venmo. Team Recess will need your Venmo username, which appears under your name after clicking the three bars in the upper right in the app. It should start with an @ symbol. Money will be requested, and your babysitter will be paid.

Cancellation Policy

Please make cancellations as soon as possible and at least 24 hours in advance. If something comes up at the last minute, we'll charge 50% of the original fee.

However, you may schedule sessions for the next day.

Late Policy

Team Recess does not condone lateness for babysitters' arrival, parents' arrival, or parents' return. In the unlikely event that your babysitter is slightly tardy, they will make up their time at the end of the session. If you are unavoidably late, either before or after, please contact your babysitter as soon as possible. Our staff is as busy as you are. For every 10 minutes of tardiness, you will be charged an extra $10.

Other Important Information

If you want to get a group of kids together and do a large session, just send us an email and we'll negotiate an appropriate fee.

Team Recess is designed for children of school age, but we can be flexible. Send us an email to see what the best option is for you and your family.

If you'd like to have your child(ren) play at a park or recreation area not within walking distance of your home, babysitters are happy to meet you at a place of your choice. However, liability and COVID-19 do not allow Team Recess to transport your child(ren), so you'll need to drop them off and pick them up. Please provide the location in "additional information" when you schedule a session.
