Frequently asked safety questions

Leaving your children with a babysitter requires complete trust. Explore our detailed vetting steps, emergency preparedness, and household safety guidelines below.

How do you screen and vet each babysitter?

All of our teen sitters go through a thorough initial interview to evaluate their experience, maturity, dependability, and genuine passion for childcare. We also check references, speak directly with parents or guardians when appropriate, and assess each sitter's readiness before matching them with any family.

Do your babysitters have safety certifications?

Yes. Our sitters receive guidance and training on age-appropriate childcare, basic first aid, CPR readiness, and fundamental emergency safety practices to ensure your children remain in capable, caring hands.

How do sitters stay in touch with parents during a visit?

We prioritize clear parent communication. Sitters provide regular check-ins and text updates about activities, meals, and your children's overall well-being throughout the entire booking.

What active supervision rules do sitters follow?

Our sitters practice active supervision at all times. They keep children within sight and hearing, provide age-appropriate engagement, and never leave children unattended under any circumstances.

What household safety guidelines are enforced?

Our sitters respect your family routines, feeding schedules, bedtime expectations, and specific instructions. They keep children away from household hazards, never allow unsafe activities, and strictly avoid personal distractions such as guests or excessive phone use.

How do sitters handle unexpected emergencies?

Every sitter keeps parent and emergency contact numbers readily accessible. They are instructed on emergency protocols and know immediate steps to take if an unexpected situation arises.
