Date-night sit

Two hours or six, the clock decides.

Sitting is paid by the hour, so a quiet evening after bedtime and a long one that runs past midnight each come out at the right number.

  • Priced by the hour

    Set your rate once and the page totals the evening as the parent picks the hours, so the number on screen is the number you get.

  • Nothing open that works

    If the night they want is closed, the ask lands as a request you accept or decline, instead of the family calling whoever picks up.

  • The address before the yes

    Your page takes the home first and checks it is somewhere you cover, so a sit clear across town never gets agreed to by accident.

Paid by eleven, no cash on the counter.

The awkward part of sitting is the doorway at the end of the night. Send the card link as you pack up and it is settled before you go.

  • Cash is free to record

    Log what they left you against the sit, on the free plan. Cards are the one part of the money that comes with Pro.

  • A link beats a conversation

    The parent taps it from the couch and pays. No ATM run at eleven at night, and nothing still owed to you on Tuesday.

  • Straight into your account

    Card money is paid into your own Stripe account and out to your bank. We never hold your money on the way through.

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, grabbed off your page while the parents are still picking a restaurant.

The 5:40 text

A parent whose plans just fell apart grabs your next open evening themselves, with no phone tag and no waiting on a reply.

Bedtime-only sit

Two hours from bath to lights out, then you sit downstairs. A short evening priced short instead of rounded up to a whole night.

Two kids under three

The second kid is added as an option while the parent books, so the rate is settled long before you get to the front door.

Wedding-reception sit

A long Saturday while the parents are at the reception, with the past-midnight finish added by them rather than sorted out at 1am.

Spring-break day sit

A full weekday while school is out, on the clock from nine, in the same list as your evenings rather than on a sticky note.

Overnight sit

Ten at night through seven the next morning, on the calendar as one booking at its own rate instead of an evening stretched out.

Covering the regular sitter

A family whose usual sitter bailed finds an evening that is genuinely open on your page instead of texting four people.

The standing Thursday

Same family, same night, set up once and generated into your calendar for as long as the arrangement runs.

Kids up, dinner party down

Upstairs with the kids while the parents host. One booking, one record, and the hours counted to the last guest out.

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.

Online booking

Your own page showing only the evenings you sit, where a parent grabs four hours on Friday and gets it confirmed without calling you.

Priced by the hour

Sitting is billed on the clock, so a short evening after bedtime and a long one that runs past midnight each come out at the right rate.

Scheduling

Every sit on one evening grid, so the Saturday you already said yes to is right in front of you before a second family asks for it.

Standing evenings

The family who has you every other Friday is set up once and generated into your calendar ahead of you, free on every plan.

Customers

Every family you sit for, with their address, their number and every evening you have worked for them, so the next one takes seconds.

The family record

Bedtimes, the allergy, which neighbor has the key and grandma’s cell, kept as notes on the family and never shown to them.

Inbox

One thread per family. The Friday ask, the change of plan and your accept or decline all stay in the same conversation.

Bookings

Every sit from accepted through done, and an evening called off at five keeps the stage it had reached when the call came.

Payments

Record the cash on the counter for free, or send a card link as you pack up. Cards are the one part that comes with Pro.

Common questions.

Any evening you opened up, yes. There is a one-hour floor before the next bookable slot, so a 5:40 text can grab a seven o’clock sit but not a six-fifteen. Anything tighter comes in as a request and you answer it right in the thread.

Yes, and you should. Sitting is priced on the clock, so a two-hour bedtime sit and a six-hour wedding night come out at the right number without you doing math in the car. A second kid or a finish past midnight goes on as an option with its own price, picked by the parent as they book.

On the family. Each kid gets their own record under the household, and everything else — the peanut allergy, which neighbor has the spare key, grandma’s cell — goes on as an internal note. Notes are yours, never shown to the family, and they are right there the next time you sit.

No. It is a booking tool, not a screening service, and it does not run, hold or verify a check of any kind. Screening rules for people who work with children are set state by state and by whoever is hiring you, so whatever check a family asks to see is one you obtain and show them yourself. Anyone selling you a booking app that claims to verify it is selling you something else.

Nope. Set the sit to repeat weekly or monthly at whatever spacing that family keeps, and the evenings are generated into your calendar 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 one part that comes with Pro, and card money is paid straight into your own Stripe account. We never hold your money.
