WE OFFER AFFORDABLE BABYSITTING:

---

ETHOS offers a babysitting service for parents who wish to do shopping after school.

This program is only available to parents who are enrolled and staying in ETHOS housing. (Parents staying in outside housing will need to arrange babysitting with the establishment providing their housing.)

Here Are The Details Of The Program:

---

1. ETHOS will accept up to four (4) children from one family for babysitting.
   • These must be below the age of thirteen (13) years old.
   • Teenage children should accompany their parents.
   • Parents who wish to include their teenaged children will need to ask for a separate arrangement.
2. Parents must request after-school babysitting at least two (2) days prior to the desired shopping date and parents may not skip class in order to go shopping.
   • ETHOS will provide after-school babysitting only on school days during office hours.
   • There is no babysitting available on weekends or school holidays.
   • This means a maximum of up to four (4) hours of shopping in one day for those in the 4-hour study program, or a maximum of three (3) hours shopping for those in the 5-hour study program.
3. Parents must claim their children by the end of the babysitting time.
   • ETHOS will allow a late grace period of 15 minutes.
   • After 15 minutes, ETHOS will charge 500.00 Pesos per hour, per child until the child/children are picked up by the parent.
   • Therefore, parents must consider the travel time to their shopping destination and plan their travel accordingly.
   • Parents who are going to be late must contact ETHOS.
   • Parents who are late two (2) times will no longer be eligible for ETHOS babysitting.

Here are some additional important details:

• Each parent pays for their children.

  • Parents will pay any late fee upon arrival from shopping.

  • Parents understand that these watchers are not professional babysitters but work for ETHOS.
  • Parents must agree to place their children into the care of ETHOS and trust ETHOS to make certain a dependable person is placed in charge of their children.
• Parents will explain to their children about the babysitting, and ensure that their children understand that they must obey the watcher and all ETHOS rules.
  • After three (3) documented violation-incidents, ETHOS will no longer babysit for the parent.

• Should there be any problem, ETHOS will investigate and determine fault in such cases, and parents agree to accept ETHOS’ ruling.
  • ETHOS has CCTV cameras for recordings in all babysitting rooms.
• Parents will provide contact information so that ETHOS may reach them in case of an emergency, or in case their child will not comply and creates a problem for the watcher or other children.
