Many parents put off taking vacations due to having small children and not wanting to leave them behind.  One couple with three young children and sorely in need of a vacation resolved the problem this way.

They called ahead and arranged for a sister in the congregation where they would be vacationing to care for their three children every other day, still enabling the family to enjoy a vacation together, and yet giving the parents every other day to be alone together and rest.  With this was born the idea for Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast to provide a child-care service for their guests. 

OPTIONS:  Since parents vary in the kind of arrangements they would like to have, Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast offers the following options:

• Child care provided any time or day of the week, with the exception of Thursday evening and Sunday 3:30
   

• Parents can leave the child(ren) at Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast when they leave in the morning.  A sister will lovingly care for the child(ren), taking them for a walk along the sea, feeding them, changing diapers if necessary, bathing and putting them down for a nap, etc.
   

• Evenings can be arranged for child-care:  Feeding, bathing and putting the child(ren) to bed while parents go out for the evening.
   

• Arrangements can be made for child-care every day, or every other day, or for whatever period the parents would like.
   

Available for older children: Computer, TV, DVD with nice children's DVDs/Disney songs, legos, dolls.
Sister can make arrangements & supervise horseback riding . Stroll the "malecon", go for ice-cream. etc.

Some parents might prefer to have the sister caring for their child(ren) accompany them to the beach and other places so the  family
can still be together and yet enable the parents to "go off on their own" and relax while the children play and enjoy
the beach under the supervision of the sister.

DETAILS:

• Naturally, parents would supply all food and beverages - Sister would prepare all meals for children.
   

• If children are older and parents would like the sister to take them to the beach or horseback riding, this can be arranged.  Parents, of course, would pay for the activities and transportation.   Also, arrangements can be made for older children to accompany the sister in the ministry and work with the pioneers during the times parents would like to go off on their own.
