Consumamatrix used the suggest a deal feature today to let us know about this great offer and tips on how to use it:

For Ottawa Moms and Dads:

If you spend $75 at Bayshore shopping centre, you get a free 1 hour of babysitting at the YMCA children’s play area in the mall.

Bring your receipts (food court receipts included) on SAME DAY you bought the merchandise to Customer Service to get your free coupon. (1 hour = $4). You get 1 coupon for every $75 spent.

Now here’s the REAL tip: the coupons for free childcare DO NOT EXPIRE.

This means you can start doing this when your child is a baby or a toddler and by the time they are 3 or 4 years old and ASK to be taken to the play area, you’ll have plenty of free play dates!

Other tip: If you don’t have kids, these coupons would make a (free) great gift to your friends who do.
