How SittersPlus Works

On-demand childcare for real life. Families post a job for a flat fee. Vetted sitters get a text and pick up the jobs that fit their schedule.

For Families

Free to join • Only $25 when you post a job

SittersPlus is free to join for families. You only pay a flat $25 posting fee when you submit a job—no membership, no subscriptions, no recurring charges.

Step 1

Post your job

Share when you need care, your neighborhood, and details about your kids.

Post weeks in advance or last-minute.

Step 2

Pay & we alert sitters

Pay a flat $25 posting fee — that’s your only cost.

We immediately notify vetted, background-checked sitters in your area so the job can be picked up quickly.

Step 3

Your sitter is confirmed

Once a sitter accepts your booking, you’ll instantly see their full profile so you know exactly who’s coming.

You pay your sitter directly at the end of the job.

Clear expectations up front

When you post a job, you can include:

  • Bedtime routines & screen-time rules
  • Allergies, pets, and parking tips
  • Homework, activities, or house rules

Sitters see these details before they confirm, so everyone starts on the same page.

After the booking

  • Rate your sitter and leave quick feedback so we can surface your favorites next time.
  • Great ratings help sitters stand out for more jobs.
  • No-shows and repeat late cancellations receive penalties or removal — we take reliability seriously.

For Sitters

Free to join • Flexible, local jobs

SittersPlus is for reliable, experienced sitters who want flexible work with great local families—without chasing random gigs on big apps.

Step 1

Apply & get vetted

Tell us about your experience. Kiki reviews applications, checks references, and runs a background check before approval.

Step 2

Get texts for new jobs

When families post in your area, you’ll get a text with the job details. If you’re free, you reply to confirm.

Step 3

First to confirm gets it

Jobs are first-come, first-served among approved sitters.

You get the family’s info and address, show up on time, and get paid directly.

How payment works

  • Families pay you directly after the job — typically via cash, Venmo, or another agreed method.
  • SittersPlus does not take a cut of your pay.

Reliability matters

  • Families can rate you after each booking; strong ratings help you get more of the jobs you want.
  • No-shows or repeat last-minute cancellations can lead to penalties or removal — we keep standards high for families.
