It's actually a great side job. I work at a childcare center and do this on the weekends. Those "strange kids" are actually regulars on the weekend. Familiar face for child and worker. To answer OP's question, it's 2 dollars.

I did it at a tennis club. We had a lot if fun, and I knew all the regulars.

It is basically just a semi-supervised lord of the flies like free for all.

Lifetime fitness does not charge me per use. Not sure if my kids are on my membership.

Yeah, that seems more reasonable than $10/hr. Thanks.

OK, thanks. Yeah, I am trying to get a feel for rates, rules, etc. It's good to know that this rate seems high. Thank you.

I guess kids can be members, b/c at the gym, they also have a pool (at the Tysons location) where they have family swimming hours, etc.? But yeah, it's not like they can go on the exercise machines or anything???

We belong to Sport&Health and I just called to inquire about childcare for my 6yo while I am working out. (This was the Reston location, if it matters.) They told me that it is $10/child if DD is not on the membership with us. Which she isn't.

Is this normal? I always thought DD could go in there for free if we were members, but clearly I am mistaken.

Is this the norm for childcare at gyms in the DC/M/V area? Just trying to get a feel.

Thanks.
