Our Services

You can choose any of the babysitters. They are all great!

All of the babysitters are interviewed, reference checked, pediatric CPR certified and background checked. We keep resumes of file for everyone along with all of their documents. In order to qualify for our team they must have professional childcare experience, meaning they have worked in or work for;

daycares

schools

hospitals

kids church programs

summer camps

or other professional experience

We look for candidates that have a range of ages they are comfortable with, from infants to teens.

Personality is key. In addition to experience we are looking for babysitters that are personable and energetic.

We do not discriminate based on age. All sitters are 18 or older. Many families think different things about different ages. Keep in mind that age isn't the best indicator of a person's personality or experience in professional childcare.

Some people are naturally more energetic and outgoing than others, and they tend to stay that way their whole lives. Some people started working in childcare at a very young age, many church programs regularly rely on teen volunteers. Schools also have after school programs that hire high schoolers. Summer camps recruit high schoolers and college kids. Then there are youth sports coaches too.

We are recruiting for personality, energy, and experience.

We love to participate in fun activities while we are watching children! Hiking, biking, swimming *,**,*** as well as, indoor games, arts and crafts are things we are prepared for when we arrive.

​

* Swimming activities must be appropriate for the age and skill level of each individual child along with their temperament. Based on these factors we may decide at any time to withhold or cease swimming activities.

​

**During the hottest months of the year (typically but not limited to June, July, August) we may limit beach activities according to local heat advisories or based on the heat index. Our staff are working while on the beach and often don't have time to cool off by enjoying a break in the water or shade, eat, or drink which all can lead to dangerous health consequences for people who work outdoors. This does not apply to pools except on a very limited case by case basis

​

***We will not attend or participate in beach activities under red flag conditions or during Red Tide.

Yes, we work on most major holidays. But we have very limited staff on those days as most of the sitters have families and events to attend to. If your booking falls on Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Halloween, Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, or New Years Eve it will be charged at time-and-a-half plus a 20% gratuity.

We offer this as a customary compensation for people who work on Holidays. We appreciate our team for taking time away from their festivities to be there for our clients.

We understand that cancelations happen. You can cancel anytime prior to 24 hours before your booking start time. Cancelations that occur within 24 hours will be charged at 50%. This is because it is difficult to recover lost wages for your sitter(s) and our team with such short notice. Choosing not to pay the 50% cancelation fee will result in the scheduled sitter(s) arriving ready to babysit. Once sitter(s) have arrived the full amount of the booking must be paid to the sitter prior her to leaving the property.

How to get an illness exception - We will waive the cancelation fee if client presents a doctor's note verifying illness of one of the children listed on the booking, or illness of one of the parents/guardians listed on the booking. We will honor the illness exception for an additional 24 hours after the cancelation and process a refund once the doctors note has been verified.

Failure to pay for agreed services- We will contact local authorities to assist the sitter(s) in recovering her/their booking fee(s) from clients. Failure to pay agreed service fees as per terms and conditions is theft according to Florida Statute 812.012. Theft of services will be reported to the local police or sheriff department immediately upon refusal to pay agreed amount or within the same day as the canceled booking. Disputing credit card transactions for agreed fees is fraud and will be reported. We take credit card fraud and theft from our team seriously.

We recommend choosing a name from the list of available sitters if there are any. Next Available Sitter means, at the moment your preferred date and time does not have a sitter available. If you choose to book the Next Available Sitter, our entire team will get notified that you are looking for a sitter. One of the team may pick up your booking. If your booking is not picked up, you can continue to wait in hopes of a cancellation occurring. If another client cancels we will assign that babysitter to your booking. If you get a sitter assigned you will be notified via email.

You can use the Next Available Sitter option to your advantage if you have multiple bookings and want the same sitter for all. If you don't see a sitter for all your days, simply choose Next Available for all your days. We always strive for consistency so we will work on your behalf to assign the most consistent sitter to your bookings.

Yes, all sitters are required to submit a background check that is no less than 30 days old prior to their first booking. We review each background check for accuracy.

Yes, all sitters are experienced with babies, we only hire sitters who have a range of professional and personal childcare experience that includes work with infants, toddlers, and older kids. We require sitters to meet the minimum professional childcare experience threshold of 1.5 to 2 years of experience in a professional setting such as a school, daycare, church childcare program, camp, or other professional setting.
