Would you ever buy a babysitting voucher as a gift???

Question

i run a babysitting business and am thinking of intrducing vouchers where people would buy them and pre pay for our service for there grandkids nieces and nephews.

to give the parents a break?

thinking if demand would by great????

Answer 1

Not sure, if it was me i would rather offer to babysit myself so they can go out rather than buy them a voucher

Answer 2

Well I don't have any kids but yes I would. I think that a person might buy say a voucher for a meal, or offer to pay for a night out, and then buy the babysitting voucher too. Obviously it can be annoying when you get bought a present for an evening or event out but then have to get a babysitter too. I'd definitely buy it for a friend. Maybe parents could buy vouchers in bulk, so they prepay if you do babysitting every week or at set times?
