Join The Sitter Company Family Network
Finding trusted care should become easier - not more complicated.
The Sitter Company Family Network is for families who want a more thoughtful, personalized approach to childcare.
Families complete a Family Profile and onboarding consultation so we can truly understand your family's routines, preferences, and childcare needs.
Trusted Care. Thoughtfully Matched.
Joining the Family Network is the first step to requesting childcare through The Sitter Company. We get to know every family before making caregiver recommendations because we believe the best matches begin with understanding your unique needs.
How It Works
1
Join the Family Network
Complete your Family Profile so we can get to know your family. We'll review your information and contact you within two business days to learn more about your childcare needs.
2
Let Us Get to Know You
We'll learn about your children, routines, and the type of caregiver you're looking for so we can make thoughtful recommendations.
3
Your Profile is Ready
Once your enrollment is complete, and any required screening is complete, your Family Profile will be ready whenever you need care.
4
Request Care Anytime
When you need care, simply submit a request. Because we already know your family, we can begin thoughtfully matching you with a caregiver who fits your needs.

Every caregiver recommended by The Sitter Company is selected through a careful screening process designed to give families confidence.

Family Network Enrollment Fee - $100
(one-time fee)
*plus background screening cost
Your one-time enrollment includes a personalized Family Profile, onboarding consultation, and access to The Sitter Company Family Network. We take the time to get to know your family's routines, preferences, personalities, and childcare needs so we can thoughtfully recommend caregivers who are the right fit for your family.
Booking Coordination Fee - $20
(per caregiver, per booking)
Caregiver Compensation
Caregivers set their own rates. Most families currently pay $15-$20 per hour, depending on experience, number of children, responsibilities, and location. Payment is made directly to your caregiver at the end of each booking.
Each time we successfully coordinate care with one of our trusted caregivers, a $20 booking coordination fee applies.
Long Term Placements
If your family decides to hire one of our caregivers for ongoing or long-term care, placement fees are capped at $2,000, regardless of the length of employment. Families are never obligated to hire long-term.
Annual Family Network Renewal - $50
Beginning one year after your enrollment, your annual renewal keeps your Family Profile active so you're always ready to request care whenever you need it.
