Sittr
On Demand Childcare
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Rated by parents as Australia's #1 Child Care App. Download now and experience why thousands of families trust Sittr.
**Australia's #1 rated babysitter and nanny app — now in New Zealand.**
Every carer on Sittr is personally vetted, background checked, and first aid certified. Finding someone you can actually trust has never been this easy.
As featured in TODAY, News.com.au, Kidspot, The Huffington Post and SBS.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Search or post a job - Tell us when you need care and what you're looking for. We'll match you with top-verified carers in your area — available for one-time or recurring bookings, with no placement fees.
2. Choose your carer - Browse your matches, read genuine parent reviews, and chat directly in the app. Every carer is pre-screened and trusted by families just like yours.
3. Pay securely in the app - Pay before the job starts. Carers are paid automatically when it's done. No cash, no awkward conversations.
WHY THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES CHOOSE SITTR
**Working With Children Checks**
Every carer holds a verified, continuously monitored WWCC — a government-issued check covering national criminal history and workplace misconduct.
**Certified First Aid**
All carers hold verified Senior First Aid qualifications covering Asthma and Anaphylaxis management, meeting national childcare standards. We've partnered with St John First Aid to keep credentials current.
**Verified Reviews**
Every review comes from a real family who booked through Sittr. No fake ratings, no guesswork.
more We had a last minute booking, so it was very helpful app for parent. I know to Babysitters it’s under paid, but for us parents we think it’s a bit expensive, and that’s why it hasn’t been a lot of traffic. When I first downloaded this Application, I immediately delete it due to the high price, there are a lot of babysitters willing to accept $20 or less / hour rate. Especially for kids who only require simple help and some night time watching after they sleeping. Maybe Sittr should reduce profit to get more customers. Or the babysitters should expect less than a full time job income, it’s more like a great opportunity whenever you have time to make additional income.

I am a Sittr. I have had many jobs. I have been paid for cancelled jobs and full pay for parents who have come home early. This service looks after BOTH parents and carers. My account was suspended when my first aid ran out. Was I upset ? No. It assured me this Company knows what they’re doing. Protecting families. I did have notice too so I renewed my certification and back on again for work. I know when I need my own Sittr, I will have 100% satisfaction in knowing the carer will have the utmost experience and qualifications to look after my children. Great job guys.
Developer Response Thank you for the wonderful review!

After doing lots of research and looking at different agency’s, websites, groups and so on, Sittr is the first app I have found that was free for me to use and also provided the security I was wanting ensuring the care provided to my kids was through safe and reliable people with all the references and check needed to be confident.I love being able to see the reviews from past family’s, and also see that they had a social media check also!I’ll be sure to let all my friends and family know about this site !

I am really disappointed with the Sittr app. Although they have lifted the rate paid to Sittrs ($25/hour now instead of $23/hour) when it was first released; there is still an influx of low quality jobs. Shifts of 1 or 1.5 hours (at $25/hour?! What is the point?) Tutoring jobs paid at $25/hour, when the going rate is at least $40/hour + And no options for extra pay for public holidays. When it should be at least 1.5 X or Double Time pay for a Public Holiday. Although a mother above in the reviews is commenting the rates for Sittr should be lower as it’s just for ‘extra cash’ All Sittrs using this platform are required to have an up to date Working with children check and First Aid certificate. This is of course, at the Carer’s expense. And they are not cheap to obtain. Please add an option for Carers to set their own rate of pay. I have over 7 years experience and refuse to work for less than a checkout chick at Woolworths. It’s insulting. Until you add this option I will not be using your app and encourage my Nanny friends not to use it also.
