Babysitting Rules & Regulations

• Each child in the babysitting room must have an informational sheet on file.
• Each child must check in at either the front desk or pool desk for pass validation.
• Punch card holders may proceed to the babysitting room. Patrons paying the walk-in fee must do so at either desk.
• Parents/Guardians must sign in and sign out each child. Under no circumstances will a child be allowed to leave the room without a parent/guardian sign them in or out.
• Parents/Guardians must remain in the Community Center while their child is in the babysitting room. During the Summer session, parent/guardians may be at the Outdoor Pool while their child is in the babysitting room during normal Babysitting Service Hours.
• Care items (i.e. diapers, bottles, sippy cups) must be provided by the parent/guardian. Items must be labeled with the child’s name.
• Children are welcome to bring their own toys and will be expected to share. The Geneseo Park District is not responsible for any toy broken.
• Food items are not allowed into the babysitting room. Only crackers and water are provided.
• Children must be at least 6 months of age and no older than 10 years to be allowed into the babysitting room.
• The Geneseo Park District has a staff to child ratio guideline of 10:1. Every effort is made to maintain this ratio. As usage fluctuates in this multi-age environment, we reserve the right to adjust that ratio up or down with safety of our patrons as the top priority. In some cases, a child may not be allowed into the babysitting room until the ratio guideline is met.

• School-Aged children can be in the gymnasium or lobby areas unsupervised so long as their parent/guardian remains in the Community Center and they follow the rules of usage.
