The Honest Comparison
Not all childcare is
created equal.
We built Sitter because every alternative had a gap that mattered when it was 6pm on a Tuesday and you needed to leave.
“I'd been through three different apps. Different sitter every time, no one knew our bedtime routine. Sitter sent us Maya — we've had her every Thursday for four months.”

Sitter vs. App-Based Platforms (Care.com, Sittercity, Bambino)
See Sitter Profiles →“The app sent someone who'd never been in our home. Sitter sends someone who knows where the nightlight is.”

“Our neighbor's kid was sweet but froze when my son had a febrile seizure. Our Sitter sitter handled it calmly and called me before the paramedics.”
David R.

“She's CPR-certified, knows the Heimlich for toddlers, and she brought a little activity kit. The neighbor's kid was on her phone.”
