Netroots Nation Childcare

Hi all,

I am sorry it's taken forever to get back to you on possible childcare at the Netroots Nation Convention in Austin, Texas this July. But I wanted to give you all a chance to look at the schedule and tell me for sure if, and when, you would use the childcare.

For pricing purposes, the group I tapped -- Corporate Kids Events -- has asked me for number of children, their ages, special needs and number of hours they require care. If you all could do me a favor, look at the schedule and let me know exactly when, and for who you would need the care, please let me know ASAP. Also, if your children require their own provider, please let me know, too, as that would determine how many childcare workers to have on hand. You can drop a line in this post, or e-mail me at elisa at mothertalkers dot com, or elisa dot batista dot com at gmail dot com. Many thanks! Elisa

    I didn't even know that NN is the rebrand for Ykos... Not that I'll be able to attend anyway, but still!

    Assuming we bring DD, we'd be there Thursday thru Sunday. I may or may not have family to help amuse her. I would probably like to go into Austin one of the days and sightsee with her, as I did (somewhat inadvertently!) in Chicago. DD will be 7 nearly 8.

    but it's so far away to plan, and I can't say for sure right now.  Not very helpful, am I?

  • thank you!! (0 / 0)

    if you have on site childcare, i will bring an almost three year old and a five year old, and use the childcare the whole time it's open

    i've already registered for the convention, but i haven't yet booked a flight or reserved a room, because if i come by myself i'll fly and try to find someone to share a room with, and if i bring the kids i'll drive.  i'm thinking of camping if i bring the kids, but i don't know if i'll still be feeling quite so ambitious when the date approaches.
