The night the kids cannot stay up late.
Christmas Eve has a hard requirement: kids in bed early. That's the whole magic-of-the-morning calculation. Adults get the late dinner, the wrapping, the actual quiet of the house once the kids are asleep.
Two Christmas Eve shapes
Adults at a family dinner across town
We come over at 5, kids get dinner-and-bath-and-bed on the early end, you're back by 11. The classic Christmas Eve booking.
Adults at home, kids need to actually sleep
We take bedtime entirely. You're downstairs with family or in the kitchen prepping. Kids get the bedtime routine on rails — none of the Christmas-Eve overstimulation spillover.
When Christmas Eve fills
Earlier than you think.
November
First requests. Repeat families lock the slot.
Early Dec
Second sitter usually books. Calendar tightens fast.
Dec 20+
Closed. Dec 24 is one of three nights a year we genuinely run out.
Premium rate, no surprises
Christmas Eve runs at a premium rate — like NYE, the sitter is giving up her own family evening. Number is agreed in writing when you confirm. No mystery surcharge added at the door.
