Babysitting Placement Fees

Whether you need to run errands, have a date night, or just need someone to hang out with your kids while you have some you time, our babysitting placement options will work for you! Babysitting placement requires a confirmation fee to ensure we have a sitter to fit your needs. The sooner you book the cheaper it is! Sitter fees will be paid directly to your sitter at time of service. Placement fees are per booking day - and not per child.
