The Sitter Club is ideal for families who:
If you're looking for the lowest hourly rate or unlimited on-demand care, we may not be the best fit — and that's okay.
Life happens:
The Sitter Club exists so these moments don't turn into emergencies.
This is planned backup care — not babysitting roulette.
Members are prioritized for available caregivers. We do not over-enroll.
All caregivers are W-2 employees — background-checked, CPR/First Aid certified, insured, and paid professionally.
Care quality and safety expectations are shaped by healthcare-level thinking — even for everyday care.
Planned care is encouraged. Short-notice care is supported when availability allows.
No overpromising. No scrambling. No surprises.
We review applications to ensure alignment and capacity.
Your monthly membership secures priority access and professional standards.
You request care within defined notice windows. We confirm availability and manage coordination.
Important: Membership guarantees priority access and preparedness — not unlimited or guaranteed coverage.
Most childcare services operate on-demand without guaranteed availability. The Sitter Club is built differently:
We intentionally cap membership to protect caregiver availability and care quality. This means we may close enrollment when capacity is reached.
Our caregivers aren't gig workers or independent contractors. They're professionally employed with benefits, insurance, ongoing training, and real accountability.
Every aspect of our care model — from vetting to safety protocols — is shaped by healthcare-level thinking, not typical babysitting standards.
Why it matters: You're not just getting access to sitters. You're getting a professionally-managed backup care system designed by someone who understands both clinical safety and family needs.
Membership secures:
Important: Membership fees secure access and readiness. Care hours are billed separately.

No. Membership guarantees priority access and professional standards — not unlimited availability. Enrollment is limited to protect quality.
No. Membership secures access. Care hours are billed separately at member rates.
Yes. Memberships are month-to-month. We believe families stay because it works.
We aim for continuity when possible, but availability varies. We never overpromise what we can't deliver.
Regular babysitting services operate on-demand without guaranteed availability. Our members maintain consistent access to a professionally-employed caregiver team through an intentional enrollment model. Our caregivers are W-2 employees (not contractors), background-checked, and trained to RN-informed standards. You pay for priority access and peace of mind — not just reactive care.
That means your backup plan is working — you didn't need it. Think of it like insurance: you pay for preparedness, not usage. Many members go weeks or months without needing care, but value having a professional team ready when life happens. If you find yourself not using care for several months, we're happy to discuss whether the membership still makes sense for your family.
Planned care (3+ days notice): We prioritize these requests and can typically accommodate them.
Short-notice care (1-2 days): We do our best based on caregiver availability.
Same-day/emergency care: We maintain capacity for member emergencies when possible, but cannot guarantee same-day coverage.
We're transparent about availability and will always tell you directly if we cannot accommodate a request.
We maintain honest capacity limits. If all caregivers are unavailable, we let you know immediately — no false promises or last-minute cancellations. This is rare because we intentionally limit enrollment, but availability is never guaranteed.
The Sitter Club is designed for families who want a reliable plan — not last-minute solutions.
