Code of Conduct
- Purpose of This Code
This Code of Conduct sets out the standards of behaviour and professionalism expected from babysitters using the My Wedding and Event Sitter platform.
My Wedding and Event Sitter operates as a booking and matching platform only. Babysitters are independent individuals and are not employed by us. This Code provides guidance to support positive experiences for parents, children, and babysitters at weddings and events.
- Onboarding & Initial Support
All babysitters receive initial support when joining the platform. This includes:
- Guidance on how the platform works
- What to expect from wedding and event bookings
- How to communicate effectively with parents
- Best practice for event-based childcare
Babysitters who choose a subscription membership also receive access to ongoing training and updated guidance.
- Professional Conduct
Babysitters are expected to:
- Act responsibly, respectfully, and professionally at all times
- Arrive on time and prepared for their booking
- Communicate clearly with parents before and during the event
- Follow the information provided by parents regarding routines, care needs, and emergency contacts
- Maintain appropriate boundaries at all times
- Appearance & Dress Guidance for Weddings and Events
Weddings and events are often formal or semi-formal environments. While babysitters are independent and choose their own attire, we provide the following guidance to help babysitters feel confident and appropriately dressed.
Babysitters are encouraged to:
- Dress smartly and comfortably, suitable for a wedding or special event
- Choose clothing that allows ease of movement and comfort for long hours
We recommend avoiding:
- Jeans
- Clothing with slogans, logos, or graphics
- Very casual or unsuitable footwear
Appropriate examples may include (but are not limited to):
- Smart trousers or floaty trousers with a plain top or t-shirt
- Tailored trousers with a blouse or simple top
- A blazer or smart jacket if additional formality is required
- A comfortable long dress suitable for a wedding setting
Babysitters should always consider the venue, environment, and duration of the booking when choosing what to wear.
- Breaks, Wellbeing, Food & Dietary Considerations
Many wedding and event bookings can involve long hours and limited access to food, particularly when working at venues.
Babysitters are encouraged to:
- Take reasonable breaks where appropriate
- Discuss expectations, timings, and arrangements with parents in advance
- Plan ahead for their own wellbeing during longer bookings
At some weddings or events, suppliers may be offered a meal. Where this has been arranged, babysitters should confirm directly with the parent in advance whether food will be provided.
If food is being provided, babysitters are responsible for communicating any dietary requirements or preferences directly with the parent ahead of the event.
If food has not been arranged or agreed, we recommend that babysitters bring their own food and refreshments to ensure they remain comfortable and supported throughout the booking.
My Wedding and Event Sitter does not set expectations regarding food provision, and babysitters remain responsible for managing their own wellbeing during a booking.
- Reliability & Cancellations
We understand that unexpected situations can arise. However, reliability is extremely important for weddings and events.
Babysitters are expected to:
- Honour bookings they have accepted
- Notify us as soon as possible if they are unable to fulfil a booking
- Avoid late or repeated cancellations wherever possible
- Three-Strike Policy
To maintain a high standard of service and trust on the platform, we operate a three-strike policy.
A “strike” may be issued where a babysitter:
- Fails to attend a confirmed booking without reasonable notice
- Repeatedly cancels bookings without valid reason
- Consistently fails to respond to booking requests
- Behaves in a way that negatively impacts parents, children, or the platform
While we understand that genuine emergencies happen, repeated issues may result in strikes being applied.
After three strikes, a babysitter’s profile will be removed from the platform, and they will not be permitted to re-register.
- Medication & Medical Information
Where a child may require medication during a booking, this must be discussed and agreed directly between the parent and the babysitter in advance.
Babysitters are not required to administer medication and should only do so if they feel comfortable and confident. Babysitters must not feel pressured or obliged to administer medication under any circumstances.
If a babysitter is not comfortable administering medication, this responsibility remains with the parent. In these situations, parents should arrange for a friend, family member, or other appropriate adult to administer medication as required.
Where a babysitter is comfortable administering medication, they should ensure they are clear on:
- What medication is required
- When and how it should be administered
- Any storage or handling instructions
- Any allergies or medical conditions relevant to the child’s care
If medication is administered, babysitters are encouraged to make a simple note for the parent, such as the time and amount given, to support clear communication. This does not require formal record-keeping and is intended purely for information-sharing purposes.
Babysitters should only administer medication with the parent’s knowledge and consent, and strictly in line with the instructions provided by the parent.
My Wedding and Event Sitter does not provide medical advice and does not assess, supervise, or take responsibility for the administration of medication. All arrangements relating to medication are agreed directly between the parent and the babysitter.
- Platform Integrity
Babysitters must:
- Keep availability calendars accurate and up to date
- Provide truthful and accurate profile information
- Use the platform responsibly and in line with its intended purpose
Misuse of the platform may result in immediate removal.
9.Transport, Overnight Care & Photography Guidance
Wedding and event bookings can vary significantly, and expectations may differ depending on the setting, timings, and family arrangements. The following guidance is provided to help avoid misunderstandings and ensure clarity between parents and babysitters.
Transporting Children
Babysitters are not expected to transport children as part of a booking unless this has been clearly discussed and agreed in advance.
Babysitters should be aware that:
- Transporting children is entirely optional and should only be agreed if the babysitter feels comfortable
- Babysitters are responsible for ensuring they hold appropriate insurance if transporting children in their own vehicle
- My Wedding and Event Sitter does not provide business or vehicle insurance and does not assess or approve transport arrangements
If a booking involves movement between locations (for example, from a church to a reception venue), parents are responsible for arranging appropriate transport unless otherwise agreed directly with the babysitter.
- Overnight Care
Some bookings may involve overnight childcare.
Overnight care must:
- Be clearly agreed in advance between the parent and the babysitter
- Include clear expectations around timings, sleeping arrangements, and responsibilities
- Be accepted only if the babysitter is comfortable with overnight care
Babysitters are under no obligation to accept overnight bookings and should only do so if they feel confident and supported in the arrangement.
11 Photography & Social Media
Babysitters should not take photographs or videos of children during a booking unless explicit permission has been given by the parent.
We strongly advise babysitters to:
- Avoid taking photos of children wherever possible
- Never share images of children on social media
- Avoid identifiable images, including close-ups of faces
If photography is agreed, this should be limited and appropriate. Where possible, any images should avoid identifying children (for example, photos taken from behind or of general surroundings).
My Wedding and Event Sitter does not request or require babysitters to take photographs during bookings.
Responsibility & Agreement (points 9,10 and 11)
All arrangements relating to transport, overnight care, and photography must be agreed directly between the parent and the babysitter in advance of the event.
My Wedding and Event Sitter does not arrange, supervise, or take responsibility for these aspects of a booking.
- Agreement to This Code
By creating a profile and accepting bookings through My Wedding and Event Sitter, babysitters agree to comply with this Code of Conduct.
Failure to do so may result in account suspension or removal. Any questions please contact us
