why sitter
For the people you already trust.
Sitter isn't a marketplace. We don't help you find strangers to watch your kids — that's a different problem with different tools. Sitter coordinates with the babysitters you already know: the neighbor, the family friend, the high schooler down the street. The handful of people you'd actually call.
questions
The honest FAQ.
Do my babysitters need an account?
No. They just reply to texts like normal. You confirm when you add a sitter that they're someone you've already talked to about babysitting.
Can sitters opt out anytime?
Yes. Reply STOP to any text and Sitter stops messaging instantly. Reply START to re-enable.
What if no one's available?
If everyone says no or doesn't reply, you'll get a heads-up. Add more sitters and re-launch, or try a different night.
Will my information be shared?
No. We don't sell contact info, and we only use it to coordinate the events you set up. Details in the privacy policy.
