Need a babysitter to hold the fort (or build one) while you enjoy some kid-free time?
We love our kids. But how easy is to get lost in parenting and forget we’re more than someone’s mum or dad? Kid-free time is essential to our wellbeing, so when you find a babysitter who can give you this freedom it’s as if you’ve struck gold.
A golder ticket to freedom
Need a babysitter so you can go to the shops or that appointment without kids nipping at your ankles? Finding a trusted babysitter means a yoga class, dinner with friends, or reconnecting with your partner on that all-important date night out. And for work-at-home parents, having a babysitter on hand means help with the homeschooling and the homework - hallelujah!
Fun for the little ones
And let’s not forget that kids have fun with the babysitter (more fun than with us parents). Babysitters have more energy for things like hide and seek, board games, dance routines and glitter slime. Plus having the babysitter’s undivided attention and interacting with non-family members is great for kids’ development too.
Affordable support you can rely on
You can find and book an experienced babysitter on a casual basis, regularly, as a weekend treat or in case of emergency, but most sitters will typically help you with:
- watching your kids and keeping them safe
- school drop offs and pick ups
- chaperoning kids to activities
- dinner/bath/bedtime routine
On this site we have all kinds of babysitters so you can pick the perfect one for you. But all of them:
- are aged 18 minimum
- typically work with children 3 months up to 12 years of age
- work mostly between 5pm to 12am
- can be booked for casual shifts (once off or irregular) or fixed-term contracts (set days/times for multiple weeks/months)
Not what you need? Perhaps an au-pair or night nurse would be a better fit.
