Do I need to provide food and entertainment for the babysitter?

No, but we do recommend leaving clear instructions for meals, snacks, bedtime routines, and any household rules. Babysitters can bring some engaging activities, but you’re welcome to leave out books, games, or toys your child enjoys.

Can I extend the babysitting time if I’m running late?

Yes, but it depends on the babysitter’s availability. We recommend notifying us as soon as possible if you anticipate needing extra time so we can check with your sitter. Any additional hours will be invoiced accordingly. We also recomend booking extra hours if you need, we will provide you with a  credit on your next booking. 

What if my babysitter cancels at the last minute?

While cancellations are rare, we understand that unexpected situations can arise. If your sitter becomes unavailable, we will do our best to find a suitable replacement. However, as a small business with a high demand for services, we cannot always guarantee a last-minute replacement. You will receive a refund of the fee’s you’ve paid in this instance. 

Do your babysitters put children to bed?

Yes! Our sitters follow your bedtime routine to ensure a smooth transition. We recommend providing clear instructions about your child’s usual routine, such as storytime, nightlights, or any specific comfort items they need.

What if my child doesn’t settle with the babysitter?

Our sitters are experienced in handling a variety of situations, including children who may feel anxious or unsettled. We encourage a smooth handover by allowing your child time to warm up to the sitter. If your child is particularly nervous, you can stay for a short time at the start of the booking to help them adjust.

How do I know my babysitter will be the right fit for my family?

We take the time to carefully match each family with a sitter based on your child’s age, needs, and your specific requirements. All of our babysitters are thoroughly vetted, highly experienced, and adaptable to different family dynamics. If you ever have preferences, such as a sitter with experience in a particular area (e.g., working with children with additional needs), let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate.

What if I need to make changes to my booking?

We understand that plans can change! If you need to adjust your booking time, date, or other details, please notify us as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate changes, but modifications may be subject to sitter availability.

Do you offer overnight babysitting?

Yes! We offer overnight care for parents who need assistance beyond the usual hours—whether for work commitments, travel, or simply to catch up on rest. Please mention this in your enquiry so we can match you with a sitter comfortable with overnight stays.

Can the babysitter take my child on outings?

Sitters can take children on outings only if pre-approved by you and within reasonable limits. You must provide clear consent and instructions, and transportation options will be discussed prior to the booking. Safety is always our top priority!

What safety measures do you have in place?

Your child’s safety is our top priority. Every babysitter undergoes a rigorous vetting process that includes:
✔ A Working with Children Check (WWCC)
