BABY SITTING

Childcare professionals

All Sitters childcarers have worked with children on a daily basis in professional childcare roles (such as childminders, nursery nurses, nannies, teachers, midwives, paediatric nurses and teaching assistants).

When you book with Sitters, you’ll get only the very best childcare professionals for your family.

From newborns to teens, we’ll match your family with experienced sitters local to you.

Sitters review

‘Sitters has been a lifesaver…’

Sitters has been a lifesaver on so many occasions, particularly for me when I have been ill and someone has come quickly to take over the children so I can recover. An amazing, and simple to use service.

“Joining Sitters was the best thing I have ever done! It gives me the freedom to work around my school hours and I love that my name changes at every sitting…”shoe”, “soup”… occasionally I get “Sue”!!”

sitters review

‘Our go-to service for childcare…’

Always reliable, professional and secure. Any parent is naturally very worried about leaving their children with a complete stranger for a few hours, but in all our experiences with Sitters, our nerves have always been calmed as soon as their carers walk through the door. They are always our go-to service for childcare any day.

sitters review

‘Can’t recommend Sitters enough!!’

We have been extremely happy with the service. We have our 3 top sitters, however when we have new ones coming the kids are always relaxed because they know whoever comes is going to be fantastic, and is going to make them feel at ease. Always very punctual. Can’t recommend Sitters enough!!
