Baby Sitting Services

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.

How it works
1
Register online
It’s free to register. Simply enter the postcode where you need childcare to browse sitter profiles and reviews.

2
Provide booking details
We’ll match your family’s needs with childcare professionals and let you know when your booking has been accepted.

3
Your sitter will call
For peace of mind your sitter will call prior to every booking, giving you a chance to discuss your requirements.

4
Enjoy your freedom
Your sitter will ensure your children are safe and happy. Then simply pay them for their time at the end of the booking.

Professional childcare, whenever you need it

Evening and overnight babysitting


Cost effective daytime childcare ‐ you'll pay per hour, not per child


Emergency childcare within as little as 90 minutes


Childcare on-the-go, in hotels and on holiday nationwide

Great value childcare

We know that your children are priceless, but we feel that great childcare should be affordable for everyone.


Sitters membership costs less than £5 per month and babysitting rates are the most competitive you’ll find.


And there's nothing to pay until after your first booking takes place.

'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.

Sitters childcarers love what they do

"I have been working with Sitters for 17 years now and over that time I have met many lovely families. The Sitters service is professional, fast and reliable and I love the fact you can receive feedback from families. The application process is thorough so families can be assured their children will receive the best of care."

Pauline S, Edinburgh

"I've worked with children for over 30 years. Sitters is perfect for me, it gives me flexibility, the team are always available to help and the families are lovely."

Susan P, London SE5

"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"!!"

Sue V, London HA7
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.

'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!!

Mum Silvia, with Simon, Luca and Emma, London
