About Babysits
Care that fits your family best
At Babysits, we know that parenting is both beautiful and challenging. Whether you're juggling meetings and meal prep or just craving a moment of calm, finding the right childcare can feel overwhelming.
That’s where we come in.
Babysits started with one big goal: to make finding childcare easier and safer for every family, everywhere. What began as a simple idea has grown into one of the largest childcare communities in the world, helping more than 8 million parents, babysitters, and nannies connect right in their own neighborhood.
We're not just a platform—we’re every parent's best friend.
What drives us
We believe that no parent should feel alone in their search for support. And no babysitter should struggle to find fulfilling, flexible work. Babysits brings both sides together, creating a space where families and caregivers build meaningful relationships.
Our mission is simple:
Every parent can find and arrange care and support for their family on a platform they can rely on. Anytime, anywhere.
Peter founded Babysits in 2008. As a father of three daughters, he uses Babysits to find babysitters. His firsthand experiences continue to help us grow and improve every day.
Built on Trust, Powered by Community
When it comes to your children, nothing matters more than trust. That's why Babysits puts safety and transparency first. ID verification is required before members can send or reply to messages, and reviews and references from other members help families decide for themselves.
We're always listening and improving. Because when our members need support, we want them to feel like we're right there with them.
What we value
At Babysits, we're guided by values that matter:
- Safety – We build tools and safeguards that help families and sitters make informed choices.
- Support You Can Count On – We’re here to help, every step of the way.
- Meaningful matches – We focus on building relationships where parents, sitters, and kids truly connect.
- Transparency – We're clear about what we check and what we don't.
- Together is Better – We believe childcare is stronger when we work together.
