Dear MEL Topic Readers,
In China, luxury hotels are offering babysitting services to stressed out parents working from home
Working from home has become a common, or even new standard, for many office workers. They can save time commuting and spend more time with their family. However, for school children, studying from home is boring and demanding. They have to take intense online classes all day long without having time to interact with other students. Also, going to and from school with other kids is part of their daily activity and exercise. School children can be easily stressed and depressed when they are told to stay home all day and every day. So, their parents have to come up with some plan that encourages their children to keep studying online. When students were ordered to stay home and take online classes to prevent the Omicron variant from spreading in major cities like Shanghai in China, some luxury hotels started offering a package to babysit school children in their guest rooms during the day. It sounds like a study-cation package for children. Well, many hotels offer their rooms during the day for those who want to work in an isolated environment. For children, there is at least a place to go for a day. For parents, they can work or relax without taking care of their children. For the hotels, they can sell empty rooms during the daytime.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about this luxurious babysitting package in China.
