FAQ

Is one able to meet one’s sitter prior to the job?

Your Sitter will reach out to you via text 24 hours prior to the job. Out of consideration for our sitter’s time and the number of families our sitters sit for, we do not allow parents to meet their sitters before a sit. We suggest parents add an extra 15 minutes to your sit time if one would like to be there with your sitter and children to facilitate the introduction and go over any expectations with them.


How far in advance can one book a sitter?

One can schedule up to a year in advance. Please keep in mind if you request a sitter far in advance, it’s possible something may come up in the sitters schedule that will cause you to need to rebook. However we can always assist if that happens!


How can one learn about a sitter before booking them?

Once a parent signs up they can find a sitter. One needs to put in the necessary information and a list of sitter’s with their picture appear. Click on a sitters profile and one can read their bio as well as look over reviews from parents who had booked them in the past.
