Stay in the moment.
We’ll be there for them.

Vetted, certified caregivers bring an elegant, supervised kids’ lounge right to your wedding or event venue — so every guest you invited can actually stay and celebrate.

  • Vulnerable-sector checked
  • CPR & First Aid certified
  • $4M liability insured

Why couples book us

The guests who leave early are usually the parents

You spent months on the guest list. Then the speeches start, a toddler melts down, and half a table quietly disappears before the first dance.

We solve that on-site. Children get a beautifully set-up space of their own, staffed by certified caregivers working to strict ratios. Parents get to stay — and to check in whenever they want, because it’s all happening steps away.

There For YouEvent Childcare

“Somewhere safe for them. Somewhere close to you.”

Every booking is built around your venue, your timeline, and the ages of the children attending.

Safety first, always

Four things we never compromise on

Handing over your child is an act of trust. Here is exactly what that trust is built on.


  • Dual-layer screening

    Criminal record check plus a vulnerable-sector check for every caregiver, with verified references.

  • CPR & First Aid certified

    All staff hold current CPR/AED and Standard First Aid certification. No exceptions, no lapses.

  • $4M liability insured

    Commercial general liability plus professional childcare liability. Certificates sent to your venue on request.

  • Cloud check-in

    Tamper-evident wristbands linked to digital profiles: allergies, medications, and authorized pickup only.

Staffing ratios

Fewer children per caregiver than the room requires

Our team size is set by the age mix of the children attending — not just the headcount. Younger groups get tighter ratios.

    Infants

    0–2 years

    1 caregiver for every 2 children

  • 1:4

    Toddlers

    3–5 years

    1 caregiver for every 4 children

  • 1:6

    School age

    6+ years

    1 caregiver for every 6 children

Common questions

The things people ask first


What exactly is on-site event childcare?

We bring a fully equipped, supervised kids’ lounge to your venue and run it for the duration of your event. Children stay on-site — usually in a room adjacent to your reception — with certified caregivers, age-appropriate activities, and a structured schedule. Parents stay at the celebration and can drop in whenever they like.

How far in advance should we book?

Six to eight weeks is comfortable for most events, and peak wedding season (June through September) books further out. That said, it’s always worth asking — we hold some capacity for shorter timelines and can often accommodate a late request.

How are your caregivers screened?

Every caregiver clears a dual-layer background screening before working an event: a criminal record check and a vulnerable-sector check (the enhanced police check required in Ontario for anyone working with children). All staff hold current CPR/AED and Standard First Aid certification, and we verify references from prior childcare work.
