BabysitEase is a babysitter placement service that helps parents with occasional, short term and long term child care. Once you have registered with the service you can get a sitter whenever you need one. You can log onto the website using your email address and the password you create when you register. We don’t require a minimum number of hours each week or a contract, which nanny placement services would require. Each sit request should be at least 3 hours. Each time you use a sitter, you’ll pay the scheduling fee to BabysitEase and the hourly rate to the sitter at the end of the evening, cash or check.

We do all the recruiting, interviewing, and qualifying of sitters over 18, so you don’t have to! Our sitters are college students, moms, nannies, and some are even professionals in their field that still help out on nights and weekends. You don’t need to call 10 sitters until you find one that’s available. You only make a request once and you can even do it online- any time of day, so you don’t have to wait until someone gets into the office. Also, if the sitter cancels we will work to replace it instead of leaving you in a bind.

We do not guarantee the same sitter for your sits, and if you are looking for the same sitter it is best to request a consistent sit and as the sit continues a regular sitter may fall into place. Each time you schedule a sit going forward it emails your past sitters to help create some consistency for both families & sitters. If you have a long term sit request, we’ll check with our sitters to see who is available to fill the request. We’ll work to get you the same sitter, but again, we can’t guarantee it will be the same one.

While the majority of our sitters have been through CPR / Red Cross Babysitter certification this is an annual certification and many of our sitters do not get re-certified annually.

We don’t do a comprehensive criminal background check which checks every county in the country for any criminal activities. Even if we did, many of our sitters are college age so it may only be a few months of information available since records before 18 are sealed. We do a public records check, check references, both childcare and personal or professional, and we also do a non-traditional internet search.

You are asked to provide a lot of information to BabysitEase during registration. You should feel comfortable knowing that we protect your information online utilizing many techniques and tools including individually unique userids and passwords. We ask that you protect your userid and password by not writing this information down or giving it to others. We request this information to help our babysitters and families know a little more about the person coming into their home or the person whose home they will be entering. Please do not create dummy data but input the correct information so we can serve you better.

A longterm sit is a request for the same sitter. We offer two options. A three month sitter buy out for $500 or a one year buy out for $1500. In a buy out relationship, you can speak with the sitter directly, use the sitter as often as needed, have full access to the sitter's schedule, negotiate sitter rate and utilize the sitter for tasks outside of childcare if agreed upon the start of the sitter buy out.

In addition to receiving an email profile, sitters will give you a 24-48 hour courtesy call to confirm.
