Childcare at Gym

If you use childcare at your gym...do you tip the person that watches your children? If so, how much and how often?

Re: Childcare at Gym

It never crossed my mine to tip. I pay $10 a month for them to go on top of my membership fee.

Re: Childcare at Gym

If it's included in the price of membership I'm not sure you need to. Maybe ask the manager what the policy is, if there is one.

ETA: With the studio where I take yoga/pilates, I didn't tip but I did give the childcare providers $$ around the holidays. HTH.

I don't use the childcare but if I did I would probably tip around the end of the year as a thank you.

I used to tip when I first started going every few weeks $10. I stopped once DD wasn't having fits anymore.
The babysitting is a service that is included in my membership. If I had to give $2 every time I went ($1 for each kid) that would add $32 a month to my membership.

Thanks for all the responses. I am going to stick to the holidays since it's only once per week and should the boys be a difficult I'll definitely tip for the extra effort they caused.
