Engaging Sitter Looking to help supplement your income immediately?  Is your current job on hold, on hiatus or uncertain? Eager to lend a hand in your neighborhood to families who are struggling with childcare for healthy children while school is out or their regular childcare plans are closed? Let's work together!  

You focus on fun work with children. We do the work to support you through a caring team and amazing opportunities:

No hustle - It’s simple; you'll be matched with pre-screened families that need help. Children are so eager to have a caregiver that can be devoted to them and help make this uncertain time fun.

Regular Paychecks – No need to worry about asking to be paid, wondering what you will be paid, or filing paperwork. You'll get a paycheck and all the benefits and security that come from legal employment. 

Safety First – Peace of mind: Every family is vetted by a professional agency or agency partner. Parents are selecting in-home care and know the importance of a safe environment.

When you’re a child's caregiver, you’re not just taking care of a child. You’re inspiring them with the very best in you.

You’ll get to:

• Be a Role Model – Change a mood with a smile. Bring calm to chaos. Show ‘em how it’s done.
• Be Playful – Hey, it’s fun! You get to be a kid again and share everything you loved doing—riddles, card games, treasure hunts, neighborhood baseball. Yup—all in your job description.
• Be helpful – Many parents are overwhelmed with their daily schedules and now need to be parent, teacher, worker, and more. You’ll help with that.
• Be adventurous – What exciting new discoveries lie ahead? Rediscover the world through a kid’s eyes.
• Be in charge - You will manage the safety and care and create a fulfilling day for children who will appreciate the comfort and care you bring.
