Watch Your Kiddos

Many of us are getting back to work at either our current jobs or at a new job after pandemic restrictions have lifted in most states, and babysitters, nannies or other childcare is needed for kids while we are at work or school. One of many daycare options I have noticed while working within the past few months is College Nannies and Sitters, which offers child care services for any number of kids for any occasions, from work functions, meetings/workshops, to having someone watch your kids while on summer or holiday break from school. I have also noticed the service Hop Skip Drive, which is a transportation service for kids  similar to Uber or Lyft. This is different, because Hop Skip Drive is exclusively for kids, and Uber and Lyft cannot pick up anyone under the age of 18 in their vehicles without someone over 18 with them. Hop Skip Drive drivers are thoroughly background and driving checked and have to have five years or more of childcare experience. I had heard of them back in either 2018 or 2019, when one of my fellow volunteers and I got to talking about rideshare, and the fact that no one under 18 could get an Uber or a Lyft alone, even under their parents accounts.
