FAQ

  • What is Play-Date Collective?

    Play-Date Collective is where joyful childcare meets thoughtful connection. We pair trusted sitters with curated date-night planning so kids get to play, parents get to recharge, and our whole community thrives.

  • How does it work?

    It’s simple: book a sitter through us, we match you with someone your kids will love, and we design a personalized date-night experience with our local partners. You enjoy your evening knowing everyone’s cared for.

  • Who are your sitters?

    Right now, it’s me — the founder of Play-Date Collective. I personally provide care to ensure every experience is safe, joyful, and supported. As we grow, we’ll welcome trusted local caregivers into the Collective — creating opportunities for sitters and nannies while connecting families with care they can truly trust.

  • What ages of children do you care for?

    We support families with children from infants through school age. Every booking is personalized to meet your child’s age, stage, and needs.

  • How much does it cost?

    We have a three-hour minimum for bookings, with flexible hourly rates after that. Prices vary based on packages. For details, book a free consultation and we’ll walk you through the options.

  • How far in advance should I book?

    We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance for guaranteed availability, though we’ll always do our best to accommodate you.

  • Where do the date nights take place?

    Children stay right at home, where they’re most comfortable. Parents head out to enjoy handpicked local experiences — from cozy dinners to creative outings — all curated by us.

  • What if I already have a favorite sitter?

    That’s wonderful! You’re welcome to continue working with them, and you can still use our date-night planning services.

  • What if my child has special needs or unique routines?

    We celebrate every child’s individuality. During your intake, we’ll ask about routines, preferences, and any special considerations so our sitters can provide thoughtful, personalized care.

  • What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

    Life happens! We just ask for 24 hours’ notice whenever possible. Our full cancellation policy is shared at booking.

  • Do you support local businesses?

    Absolutely. Supporting the small businesses that make our community vibrant is part of our mission. Every date-night package highlights local gems — so your night out lifts up our neighborhood, too.
