\t\t\t\t\"rent<\/a>Stapleton is full of highly successful men, many of whom are the lone income provider for their families. Oftentimes, being successful means being busy. \u201cI travel a lot,\u201d says successful Stapleton dad Greg Saar. \u201cAnd when I am not traveling, I am working late. By the time I get home, it\u2019s dinnertime, then we have to get the kids in bed. So, I don\u2019t get as much time with the kids as I would like.\u201d Such is the case with many Stapleton men, and \u201cRent-a-Dad\u201d saw the need for their services in Stapleton. \u201cWe don\u2019t necessarily think that kids need a father figure,\u201d said business co-owner Justin Trebon. \u201cWe don\u2019t promote that a father figure or influence is something that everyone needs. We are simply offering it to those who do think it is necessary or want it.\u201d\n\nTrebon says most of the calls are coming from dads who want to make sure there is a male influence around when they are gone. \u201cUsually, it\u2019s dads who call us and ask for our services,\u201d said Trebon. \u201cThey are wanting someone around to play sports with their kids, wrestle around with them, etc., the things a dad normally does that a mom or female nanny might not do.\u201d Rent-a-dad allows the parents to pick their \u201cdad\u201d and can also choose their focus. \u201cSome parents want a dad to play baseball or football, or just any sport,\u201d said Trebon. \u201cOthers want their kids to learn about cars, home repair, or sometimes just want to make sure their kids are learning basic mathematics and common sense.\u201d\nRent-a-Dad is also very flexible, and offers several different plans. \u201cThere may just be a day of the week that is bad,\u201d says Trebon. \u201cFor others, maybe they have a really busy quarter of travel, and need the Rent-a-Dad to step in. We work with the family to find the best timing option and the best Rent-a-Dad.\u201d The Rent-a-Dad\u2019s can be young professionals who aren\u2019t married and have more time, or college men working on their Masters. \u201cWe get all kinds of people who want to be Rent-A-Dads,\u201d said Trebon. \u201cWe even get actual dads who have flexible schedules. They work with the families to bring their kids as well. That has worked out great.\u201d Trebon says that the services are specifically for the kids, and they do not currently offer any services for the spouses. \u201cWe don\u2019t allow the dads to be nagged by the moms. They are also strictly prohibited from providing other marital needs.\u201d To learn more about Rent-a-Dad and its services, go to RentaDad.com<\/a>.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
