I've been thinking about it ever since the study brought it into my mental landscape. You'd need the babysitter to be someone staying at the con, probably, because otherwise where would they put the kids? I can't imagine the hotel would be terribly happy with them running around the lobby all day and night. So, someone with a room (and for ACNW, a room with an attached bathroom).

Ideally, you'd have someone devoted to it, instead of swapping off between slots and shepherding kids from room to room. I'm thinking, if one of the congoers had a teenage kid, or spouse, who already babysat, and didn't game, but wouldn't mind giving up the weekend to make some money?

Could the con maybe offer a discount to people who are bringing a babysitter who will look after more kids than just their own? Or if that's over the liability line, perhaps just mention the need on the webpage and in early "register for the con" e-mails?

You're right, either way, there would have to be a babysitter coordinator. Sounds like matching kids with sitters might be almost as tough as matching people with games.
