Sittercity Helps Parents Separate Breastfeeding From Beer This Super Bowl Weekend
Thursday, January 31, 2008FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Chicago, Ill.) - This Sunday, many moms and dads will either head out to a friend's to watch the big game or host their beloved football fanatic friends at their own home. But what happens when your Super Bowl party isn't Adults Only? With kids added to the mix you'll start to have visions of playing patty cake instead of slapping a high five after a touchdown, assuming you're not too obsessed with preventing little Johnny from knocking over the chips and guac onto your newly cleaned carpets. That's why Sittercity.com, America's largest and most trusted online source for caregivers, urges football-loving parents to not only stock up on chips and beer, but also arm their parties with a much-needed babysitter.
"There's nothing more frustrating to your singleton friends and diehard football fans than a Super Bowl party turning into a daycare operation," said Genevieve Thiers, Founder and CEO of Sittercity. "Instead of moms and dads having to keep one eye on the game and one on their kid, they can stay focused on their cheers for the Patriots or Giants and rest assured their kids are in good hands… in another room, that is."
Thiers suggests having a designated play area or room for the sitter to be in with the kids. Also, make sure there are enough activities to keep them occupied so parents can have a few hours of cheers and beers without having to get up during the two-point conversion to change a dirty diaper.
