Childcare
The RSA provides the names of the following childcare suppliers as a
service to members who may be interested, but the RSA assumes no
responsibility for their performance, licensing, insurance, and so
on.
Companies note that they are fully insured, licensed, and bonded,
and
they will make arrangements to provide childcare in the client’s
hotel
room or elsewhere. Pay rates are generally based on a caregiver’s
training
and experience and the requirements of the particular engagement.
Typical rates are $15 to $25 per hour. If plans must be made closer
to the
meeting dates, attendees can also call their selected hotel’s
concierge desk
for a list of childcare providers maintained by the hotel.
