Hello Sitter - Trusted Childcare, On Demand Hello Sitter connects your family with trusted, on-demand babysitters to meet your childcare needs. Bookings can be made from as little as 1 hour up to 10 days in advance, and every babysitter on our platform is fully vetted and highly experienced. We curate your babysitter matches based on the information you provide about your family, helping you find the right fit - fast. Designed for busy New York parents, Hello Sitter is changing what it means to find a babysitter by taking the stress out of contacting, securing, and paying for childcare. How does it work? 1. Sign up and tell us a little about your children and what you’re looking for in a babysitter. 2. Select the date and time you need care. 3. Our smart matching technology connects you with available sitters who best fit your family’s needs. You can view each babysitter’s profile, read reviews from other parents, and even watch a short introduction video. Anyone matched to you is available - simply book and you’re all set. It’s that easy. Why use Hello Sitter babysitters? All Hello Sitter babysitters go through a rigorous vetting process: - Thorough background checks - An extensive application process - In-person interviews - Three professional references, all personally verified - Social media screening - Personally used and trusted by our founder and mom, Lauren Have questions?

I'm so happy I gave this app a try. I have used it over 20 times in all different types of situations. I've hired sitters to stay in my office while I worked with my newborn (I also got to know them). I've hired sitters during my dinner parties at home and after I began getting comfortable with the app, I began hiring sitters weekly. My schedule is extremely sporadic and this app has helped me tremendously. I jumped on board as soon as I saw it mentioned on the Today show. The sitters are amazing with my kids and my daughter has a handful of favorites. Expect your sitter to be super engaging and not in their phone (thank goodness).

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so pleased we can help with your childcare when you have an unpredictable schedule, that is exactly one of the reasons that Hello Sitter was founded.

Wow! With HelloSitter, it was easier to book last minute sitters in New York City while on vacation than it is back home in Nashville with no app. I booked two sitters over the course of two days. Both responded and took my job offer within seconds of my posting the jobs — Before I even left for New York! Both sitters were awesome in every way. My husband and I loved that we could go out for “boring grown-up stuff” while great sitters took our girls to the Central Park Zoo and the Natural History Museum and pizza parlors (while we parents went to candlelight white linen spots.) The whole family was happy!

I trust this service to find me great nannies or sitters at the last minute. Every caregiver has been better than amazing and have taken the worry out of filling in for when I need help the most (nanny is sick, last minute biz meeting). Can’t recommend this enough for moms in the NYC area.

So, this app is wonderfully easy to use. However, I made a booking days in advance, the sitter confirmed and then cancelled in the middle of the night less than 12 hours before the booking. HelloSitter let me know I had time to rebook, but there are no guarantees that the sitters will accept and this leaves us in a lurch and out money as we booked tickets to a movie in good faith. I’ve contacted customer service through email and the app and I’ve not heard anything. If parents get charged for last minute cancellations (totally fair!) I think HelloSitter should also compensate parents who were cancelled on at the last minute.

We’re excited to share the latest enhancements to Hello Sitter. This update adds important new features and improvements to make planning, booking, and communication smoother and more reliable for everyone. Features - You can now request bookings up to 1 year in advance. - Added SMS notifications for insufficient funds and successful payment method updates. Fixes - Fixed a issue on iOS 26.x or higher where many buttons were not responding. - Referral codes work correctly again if a previous booking wasn’t agreed. - Improved account handling prevents duplicate profiles when registering with a phone number. - Resolved an issue where onboarding tips appeared repeatedly. - Security and performance improvements for a faster, more stable experience. Thank you for using Hello Sitter and helping us improve the app with your feedback
