Local high school and college students who live right in your neighborhood. Reliable, energetic, and way more affordable than an agency, typically $20–25/hour instead of $30+ from adult sitters.
Book a sitter for date nights, evenings out, or whenever you need the house run without you. The student is in charge, feeding, activities, bedtime, the whole thing.
Perfect when you have a newborn, are working from home, or just need another set of hands. The student keeps the older kids busy while you handle the baby, a call, or dinner.
Every sitter lives in your neighborhood or goes to your local high school. No long drives, no rideshare surcharge.
See ratings and notes from other families who already booked them. No anonymous agency profiles.
Parents approve every booking. All messages between sitter and family are visible. Nothing happens without you.
No cash handoffs, no awkward Venmo requests. Tap pay when the sitter’s done, card or digital wallet.

Every sitter has a profile with their age, experience, availability, and reviews from other local parents who’ve booked them. Start with a Mother’s Helper gig to try someone out before a full night.
Babysitting: you’re out of the house and the student is in charge. Mother’s Helper: you’re home and the student is an extra set of hands (great for parents with a newborn, or working from home).
Yes. Most babysitters are comfortable with the full routine: dinner, bath, books, bed. Tell the sitter in advance what your kids’ bedtime looks like and any quirks.
Post the gig, students get notified instantly and can respond within minutes. For same-day bookings, the pool of available sitters is smaller but often enough.
Pay in-app after the sitter’s done, card or digital wallet. No cash, no Venmo awkwardness, and a receipt for your records.
