WHY PARENTS PRAISE SITLY

How has a great sitter changed the lives of these families?

Olivia: “When Amber came over for an interview, she almost immediately started to play with Zoé and Noah.”
Rachel: “Anne always sends me photos so I know how things are going. I really like that.”
Sarah: ”Because Eliza babysits one evening a week, we have time for each other again.”
Ellen: “It’s nice that Hannah does the things with the kids that I can’t find the time to do.”
Heather: “Because Michaela picks up Jason from school, he no longer has to go to after-school care.”

I cannot recommend Deepthi highly enough! She has been an absolute blessing for our family. She is exceptionally skilled at engaging with children, keeping them happily entertained, active, and well cared for. What impresses me most is her professionalism and attention to detail—she listened carefully to all of our preferences and strictly maintained our children’s daily routine without missing a beat. It brings so much peace of mind knowing our kids are not only safe and having fun, but that our home structure is completely respected. Any family would be fortunate to have her!

Deepthi has been an absolute blessing for our family over the past six months. She started caring for my toddler half a year ago and seamlessly transitioned to helping with my newborn as well. The kids adore her, and it is easy to see why she always has creative, engaging games up her sleeve and brings so much energy to their daily routine. She is remarkably patient, kind, and fun-loving, handling the chaos of two young children with effortless grace. I am deeply grateful for her dedication and support, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for exceptional care.

Liggia has been terrific — she hit it off right away with my daughter, always offers to help beyond what I ask or even just proactively deals with any little obstacles encountered. She is honest and trustworthy, very polite…. Truly thought about being greedy and giving one star so she continues to be available to help!! Kidding, and we don’t have a current need for her to be full time, but she hasn’t disappointed yet. My daughter keeps asking me if we can invite the babysitter over to play, and opened up to her right away. Highly recommend but save a bit of her time for us! 🙂

Prices shown are for purchases made through our website. If you subscribe through our iOS or Android app, prices may differ due to local app store fees.

Please note that your Premium membership will automatically renew at the end of each billing period. You can cancel at any time and retain access to Premium features through the end of your current billing period.

Before you start your search, take a moment to figure out what you need. Full-time support? Part-time care? On-call help? Make a wish list of necessary and preferred characteristics so you can apply the right filters to our search tool.

We’ll show you a list of available sitters near you. From there, it’s up to you to screen and vet promising candidates, ask for references, organize a personal interview to see if you’re a good fit, and get to know them a little. Since sitters write their own profiles, we don’t independently verify things like qualifications or certificates, so it’s worth confirming those yourself.

First things first – message the prospective babysitter or nanny about any past childcare experience they may have, and ask about references from prior families. Then you can check in with the other parents to see what their impression was of the sitter.

Next, come up with a list of questions that will help you determine if the sitter will be a good match for your family’s needs. Review our 10-Step Guide for Parents for examples of questions to ask candidates during a babysitting interview. Finally, when you’re ready, schedule a convenient time to get together in person for a one-on-one.

There is no standard hourly rate for childcare services. Rather, each nanny or babysitter’s rate is determined by several factors – including their age and level of experience, the number of kids who need looking after, and how far they need to travel for the job.

In order to come up with an appropriate rate, you should first take into account the minimum wage for your area. Then, you might consider offering a higher rate of pay to keep things fair if you’re asking for any help with things like tutoring or chores around the house – or if you know your kids can be a handful for even the most patient of sitters!

Sitly lets you expand your sitter search to find independent childcare solutions in your neighbourhood – including babysitters, nannies, and home daycare providers. But given all these options, choosing the right solution for your family’s needs requires weighing the pros and cons carefully.

Keep in mind that nannies often work a set schedule and provide dependable assistance with more demanding tasks – while babysitters are typically scheduled as needed, and focus their energy on keeping kids safely entertained. A home daycare centre might give you the best of both worlds, but you’ll need to pay extra attention to other important factors like location, flexibility, and cost.

Sitly isn’t a babysitting agency. We don’t employ sitters, and we do not run background checks on the people who join. Think of Sitly as a neighbourhood hub where families and independent childcare providers find each other. Open access is what keeps the search fast and flexible for everyone.

That means the final judgement is yours. We give you tools to help you make it:

– New members verify their email address when they sign up
– We offer optional ID verification, so members can confirm they are who they say they are
– Sitters can add a background check certificate to their profile themselves, and you can ask to see it in person
– We provide reviews from other families
– Our team performs manual reviews when something is reported or flagged

None of this replaces your own judgement. Ask your potential babysitter about past experience, speak to families they’ve worked for, and always hold an interview in person before you decide.
