While we believe these services to be reliable and reputable, we do not warrant the accuracy of the provided checks and are not responsible for any inaccurate results.

a. Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse the service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class.

  • Project Date Night reserves the right to refuse service should issues arise that cannot be reasonably handled. When providing our services, we virtually meet with families to access the services required. Should we for any reason deem the aforementioned needs as outside of what we offer, we reserve the right to decline service.

b.  Additional information: 

  • For the ease and transition of the child(ren) and the babysitters, more often than not we expect the parents/guardians to not be in the residence at the time of service. There are certain instances where exceptions to the rule can be made, but for continuity purposes, it is best to vacate the premises. We respect that many families may have home offices and have to work from home or perform certain duties in the residence but it is your responsibility to coordinate and relay the information to the babysitter.
  • It is expected that you provide proper equipment for the babysitter to use in inclement weather for themselves as well as the child(ren). In cases of a snowstorm/extreme weather conditions, we expect families to consider the welfare and safety of babysitters and provide cab fare/car service home (within reason). 
  • we require parents who leave children in our care while they are traveling, to provide us with the following:
    – notice of a minimum of one week of international and three days of domestic travel;
    – an updated list of local emergency contacts that are allowed to care for and make medical decisions regarding the child; If there is no one – we need notarized permission that will allow us to make those decisions in case of emergency when parents are unreachable;
    – information as to how can we reach you at your travel destination in case we can’t contact you by your cellphone alone ( for example – if we have to reach you while you are at the shoot or hotel Information, etc.);
    – the exact information of your child’s schedule for the time you are away, including meal plan and $ for food shopping/activities if necessary;  
    – The essential school information including access to the school’s communication system; the sitter should also be listed at school as an emergency contact for when parents are traveling;
