Online booking
Only the evenings you are free
Open the Friday and the Saturday, leave school nights shut, and a parent who is already late books four hours without a single text in reply.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
The same family, every other Friday
A sit set to repeat weekly or monthly puts the standing evenings in the diary ahead of you, for as long as it runs, on any plan and free.
Learn moreTwo hours or six, on the clock.
Babysitting is paid by the hour, so a quiet evening after bedtime and a long one that runs past the last train do not meet in the middle.
Priced by the hour
Set the rate once and the page totals the evening as the parent picks the hours, so the figure on screen is the figure you are owed.
Nothing open that suits
If the night they want is shut, the ask arrives as a request to accept or decline, rather than the family trying whoever replies first.
The address before the yes
The page takes the house first and checks it is somewhere you cover, so a sit two bus rides away is turned down before it is agreed.
Settled by eleven, no wallet in the hall.
The awkward part of babysitting is the doorway at the end of it. Send the card link as you pack up and the receipt sees itself out.
Cash is free to record
Note what was left for you against the sit, on the free plan. Cards are the one part of the money that asks for Pro.
A link, rather than a conversation
The parent taps it from the sofa. Nobody is looking for a cashpoint at eleven at night and nobody is owed until Tuesday.
Into your own account
Card money is paid into your own Stripe account. We never hold it on the way through, so there is nothing to wait on.

Any chance you could do tonight? Back by half eleven.
The ask at ten to six.
A night you have not opened arrives as a request in a thread, with accept and decline on the card itself.
Every second Friday, set once.
Weekly or monthly, at whatever spacing that family keeps, generated into the diary ahead of you and free.

One thread for each family.
The change of plan, the extra hour and your answer to it all stay in the same conversation.
Built for the evening
Every kind of sit you take
Friday date-night sit
Four hours from six, priced on the clock, taken off your page while the parents are still choosing somewhere to eat.
The half-six text
A parent whose evening has just come apart takes the next open slot themselves, without a ring-round and without waiting on you.
Bedtime-only sit
Two hours from the bath to lights out, then you sit downstairs. A short evening priced short rather than rounded up to a whole night.
Two under three
The second child goes on as an option while the parent books, so the fee is agreed before you are anywhere near the front door.
Wedding-reception sit
A long Saturday while the parents are at the reception, the past-midnight finish added by them rather than settled at one in the morning.
Half-term day sit
A full weekday in the school holidays, on the clock from nine, in the same list as the evenings instead of on the back of an envelope.
Overnight stay
Ten at night through to seven, on the diary as one booking at its own rate rather than an evening quietly stretched.
Covering the usual sitter
A family whose regular has dropped out finds an evening that is genuinely free on your page instead of texting four people.
The standing Thursday
Same family, same night, set up once and put in the diary for as long as the arrangement carries on.
Children up, dinner party down
Upstairs with the children while the parents host. One booking, one record, and the hours counted to the last guest out.
The household on one card.
Where they live, the number to ring and what they have spent, instead of scrolling back through a year of messages.

The same families, over and over.
Every evening you have sat for them in order, so the next booking is a repeat rather than a fresh form each time.
A whole evening on the board.
Your night from the first family to the last, on a window that starts when your work does rather than at eight in the morning.
One app for the whole job
Everything you need to run your babysitting business.
Priced by the hour
Babysitting is billed on the clock, so a short evening after bedtime and a long one running past midnight land at the fee each deserves.
Standing evenings
The family who has you every other Friday is set up once and put in the diary ahead of you, at no cost on whatever plan you are on.
The family record
Bedtimes, the allergy, which neighbour has the key and the number for granny, kept as notes on the family and never shown to them.

Common questions.
Any evening you have opened, yes. There is a one-hour floor before the next bookable slot, so a half-six ask can take a half-seven sit but not a quarter-to. Anything tighter comes through as a request instead and you answer it in the thread.
Yes. Babysitting is priced on the clock, so a two-hour bedtime sit and a six-hour wedding do not end up at the same number. A second child or a finish past midnight sits on the service as an option with its own price, chosen by the parent as they book.
On the family. Each child is a record under the household in their own right, and everything else — the nut allergy, which neighbour has the spare key, the number for granny — goes on as an internal note. Notes are yours alone, never shown to the family, and they are waiting the next time you sit.
No. It is not a screening service and does not run, hold or verify a check of any kind. The one you can apply for yourself is a basic DBS check, available to anyone sixteen or over as a copy of your criminal record; anything above that goes through an eligible employer, which working for yourself does not make you. Whatever you hold, you hold, and you show it to the family yourself.
No. Set the sit to repeat weekly or monthly at whatever spacing that family keeps, and the evenings appear in the diary ahead of you. Move one and the pattern re-anchors from there. Standing arrangements are free.
Record it against the sit and the booking is settled, on the free plan, with nothing owed to us. Cards are the part that comes with Pro, and card money is paid into your own Stripe account rather than sitting with us on the way past.
