  • Our babysitting services are thoughtfully designed for families seeking exceptional, attentive care. Each sitter is carefully vetted and selected for their professionalism, warmth, and ability to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.

    Bookings require a 4-hour minimum, allowing our sitters the time to build meaningful connection and provide consistent, high-quality care.

    Our standard rate is $20/hour for 1–2 children.
    To ensure each child receives the attention they deserve, rates adjust for larger family sizes:
    3–4 children: +$2/hour
    5 children: +$5/hour

    Final pricing reflects family size and individualized care needs and will be confirmed at the time of booking.

    Booking Fees
    To support the time and care involved in matching families with exceptional sitters, we apply a per-request booking fee:
    $30 per booking request
    $25 per booking request for Hometown Heroes

    Booking fees are separate from hourly sitter rates and help us maintain the high standards, screening, and concierge-level coordination our families trust.
