FIND BABYSITTERS OR FAMILIES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

New to the area, don’t know any sitters or families, and you want to meet new people in your neighborhood? Now you can! You don’t have to, but you can! You can now find babysitters or families near you that are outside of your network.

Complete your profile, tell us large your community is, and then search for other users in your neighborhood. You can chat with them securely through the app and once you’re ready, invite them to join your private network. Or not. It’s your call.

Traveling and temporarily need a sitter in a new area? You can search for others near your current location in addition to your primary address.

AWESOME PROFILES

We have beefed up our profiles too! Now see what qualifications a sitter has and what a family is looking for in a sitter.

Not only that but families can include critical information their sitter needs to make sure the night runs smoothly. Forget about the sticky notes. Don’t worry about the babysitter forgetting what you told them. Now you can include emergency contacts, allergies, bedtime routines, and other notes in your profile so your trusted sitters can see! And, it’s ONLY shown to your trusted sitters who babysit for you.

IN-APP CHAT

Did we mention the in-app chat? That’s a big one. Now, whenever you want to connect with someone in the app you can have a full-blown conversation before making the commitment to include them in your sitter or family list. Ask them questions, set up a time to meet for an interview, whatever you need to do to feel comfortable with the person before sending them a connection request or sharing your contact info.
