FAQ About Childcare

We welcome all children from infants to 18-year-olds.

Who are the sitters?
Our sitters come from all walks of life. Teachers, stay-at-home moms, paraprofessionals, and more: they all have been fully vetted, qualified, and approved to be a sitter on the Call Emmy platform.

How are the sitters vetted?
We are glad you asked. We have an absolutely robust and comprehensive qualification program. It includes a County Criminal Check (for as many counties as they have ever lived in) an Identity Verification Check, a National Criminal Check, a Sex Offender Check, a Social Security Trace, a Psychometric Analysis, a Childcare Safety Skill Check, and lastly, a Manual Profile Approval.

Where will the children be cared for?
Children will be at one of the event rooms in Hyatt Regency just steps away from where the conference is taking place.

There is no cost to the enrolling parents. Hensel Phelps is generously covering all costs for childcare.

Do you care for sick children at the event?  
Unfortunately, we are unable to care for sick children at the event. However, many of our sitters are comfortable providing care for a child who isn't feeling well on a child-by-child basis.  You can book via our app for private care of a sick child.

How do you accommodate napping?  
YES! We will have cots, a quiet space, and dedicated sitters available for the children who need to nap.

What do I need to bring?
Anything unique to your child such as diapers, water bottles, and stuffed animals. If your child uses a pacifier, please remember to bring that.  We will have wipes, hand sanitizer, and changing stations available.

What kinds of activities will children be engaged in? 
Children will be involved in a variety of engaging activities including arts and crafts, yoga, storytime, dancing, and jewelry making.
