The Assurance of Face-to-Face Interviews and Quality Babysitters with a Passion for Children

Your intuition is what you rely on when making important decisions. And nothing could be more important than finding the right person to care for your children. Meet A Sitter's candidates are put through a rigorous behavioural interview and only get selected to join the network if they have both the experience and passion for working with children. For us, it's never just about a job. It's got to be about the kids.

Time efficient and a bargain! At just $55 per event, it offers parents a cost-effective alternative to nanny agencies, and trawling through classified ads or online databases.

Connecting to Your Very Own Babysitter Network. 

Because you need flexibility and assurance, every parent should have at least two or three babysitters on your speed-dial! Meet A Sitter's objective is to help connect you to your own network of great babysitters and family helpers.
