Why parents recommend Sitly

How did a great sitter change the lives of these parents?

Chantal: “When Femke came for an interview, she almost immediately started to play with Zoë and Noah.”
Mariska: “Anne always sends me photos so I know how things are going. I really like that.”
Sanne: ”Because Larissa babysits one evening a week, we have time for each other again.”
Jacha: “It’s nice that Hannah does the things with the kids that I can’t find the time to do.”
Carla: “Because Mick picks up Jochem from school, he no longer has to go to after-school care.”

Mirjam

We are extremely happy with Mirjam! She is professional, caring, knowledgeable, and has a wonderful understanding of babies and their needs. Our 4-month-old son absolutely loves spending time with her. He plays happily, feeds well, and sleeps peacefully in her care. Mirjam handles every situation with patience and confidence, and he is always calm and content after spending time with her. It gives us great peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and loving hands. We highly recommend her!

We had a wonderful experience with Prajakta! She looked after our baby when he was just learning to sit up properly and was falling often, and she was exceptionally attentive, patient, and hands-on to ensure he stayed safe. Our baby absolutely adored her and smiled constantly around her. Prajakta is highly capable, clearly experienced with infants, and communicative person to work with.

Prajakta has babysat my children several times this year. She soon became part of our family and will stay in our hearts forever. My kids and me couldn’t have been luckier to have found a babysitter who is this attuned to children and their fluctuating needs, while at the same time keeping the day structure with proper meal times and occasional outings. She has a way of connecting with kids by just being a calming and reassuring presence. And she will fit in all kinds of families with various backgrounds, because she has a way of being that connects poeple and children, also to themselves. Thank you Parjakta for all the beautiful memories made. You’re always welcome back. Marija

Juliana’s was an absolute life saver, helping us with our 11-week old baby through a busy period as we prepared to move our family overseas. Her love for and experience with children was immediately evident. She is knowledgeable and very capable of looking after young babies independently, but also made sure to check in with us on our wishes and preferences. She was also very flexible, often coming at short notice or working dynamic hours where we needed extra support. On top of all this, Juliana is warm and an all round pleasure to deal with. Wish we could have taken her with us on the move. Highly recommend her!!

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.

First, you should make sure to comply with the minimum wage or hourly rate, established by law. Additionally, each babysitter’s rate is determined by several factors – including their 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.
