If you have been searching for a good babysitter, you may be in luck with Sittercity.

Sittercity.com is America’s first and largest online babysitter network. With hundreds of thousands of care providers, they have found a way to make it easier to find the perfect babysitter.

They are a privately-owned corporation started in 2001 by Genevieve Thiers with just 20,000 flyers. She spread the Sittercity message all over colleges in Boston on foot. By its official opening, it had a database of 600 babysitters. Now they have over 150,000 babysitters in all parts of the United States. They have also expanded services to include nannies, petsitters, housesitters, elder care providers, and tutors.

You no longer have to call all over town begging friends to share the name of their sitter with you or spend time praying that a relative will help you out. They provide accessibility to talented, caring sitters and nannies. All Sittercity sitters are over the age of 17, located nationwide, and are often skilled in areas like pre-med, early childhood education, CPR, and first aid. They even offer background checks on all consenting sitters.

Sittercity.com is a matchmaking service only. It does not charge any fees for using care providers found on the site but instead charges just for access to their site and database.

For less than $100, you get a year’s membership and access to their job posting features, specific searches for sitters, access to online background checks, four-step easy screening process, interactive babysitting tools, and more!

If you try it today and you may even be able to spend tomorrow night out on the town! What are you waiting for?
