What is Sitters Co Canada

A modern, local-first way to find and book babysitters.

We're building local sitter networks carefully — each sitter is interviewed, reference-checked, and completes onboarding before becoming bookable. You post a booking, hear from a smaller pool of relevant, prepared sitters in your area, choose who feels right, and pay securely through the app.

How it works

Booking a sitter, the easy way.

More than a directory

A complete booking platform — not just a list of names.

Most sitter sites stop at the search bar. Sitters Co handles the whole booking, from request to payment.

  • Interviews, references, and background checks before any sitter goes live.

  • You only see sitters who are actually available for your booking window.

  • Post once and let interested sitters come to you — no more group-chat begging.

  • Pay through the platform. Sitters get paid reliably, you get a receipt.

  • We launch town by town so the sitters you see actually live nearby.

  • Save favourites and rebook the sitters your kids love.

See it in action

Book your favourite sitter in seconds.

Tap a sitter you like, browse their full profile, check their real availability, and book them directly — all from the same screen. No phone tag, no group chats.

  • View profile, experience, and reviews
  • See availability for your dates

Why families switch

A better way to find local care

Finding a sitter should not feel like posting into the void, scrolling through strangers, or hoping the person who replies is the right fit. Sitters Co gives families a more personal, structured way to connect with local caregivers who have been reviewed before they appear on the platform.

We are not a giant directory. We are a curated local community built by real people who care about fit, safety, and trust.

Full professional profiles

Clear, structured sitter profiles with experience, availability, location, and key details families can review before booking.

Interviews completed

Every sitter is personally interviewed before they're approved to join the platform.

Reference checks completed

We collect and verify references so you know who's actually qualified.

Background check verified

Background and vulnerable sector screening is required during onboarding.

Payments processed in the app

Secure in-app payments with a receipt — no cash, no e-transfer hunting.

On-the-go shift bookings & notifications

Post a booking, hear from available sitters, and manage everything from your phone.

A real human who cares

Built by real people who care about fit, safety, and trust — not just clicks and subscriptions.

Elder care companions & babysitters

Whether you need a sitter for the kids or a non-medical companion for an aging parent, we've got you covered.

Trust & responsibility
