- Are the sitters CPR certified?
While the majority of our sitters have been through CPR / Red Cross Babysitter certification this is an annual certification and many of our sitters do not get re-certified annually.
- How do you check your sitters?
We work to qualify only the best babysitters to provide care for your children. We recruit heavily among education, child development and nursing majors at surrounding universities and colleges. We use a thorough screening process that includes: A personal interview, Reference checks for childcare, and Character references. We do a public records check, check references, both childcare and personal or professional, and we also do a non-traditional internet search.
- Will you protect my personal information?
You are asked to provide a lot of information to BabysitEase during registration. You should feel comfortable knowing that we protect your information online utilizing many techniques and tools including individually unique userids and passwords. We ask that you protect your userid and password by not writing this information down or giving it to others. We request this information to help our babysitters and families know a little more about the person coming into their home or the person whose home they will be entering. Please do not create dummy data but input the correct information so we can serve you better.
- What is a longterm sit?
A longterm sit is a request for the same sitter. We offer two options. A three month sitter buy out for $500 or a one year buy out for $1500. In a buy out relationship, you can speak with the sitter directly, use the sitter as often as needed, have full access to the sitter's schedule, negotiate sitter rate and utilize the sitter for tasks outside of childcare if agreed upon the start of the sitter buy out.
- Is there a way to confirm my sitter prior to the actual sit date?
In addition to receiving an email profile, sitters will give you a 24-48 hour courtesy call to confirm.
- Does BabysitEase offer their services for special needs kids?
Yes we do. We pride ourselves with offering parents of special kids the same high quality sitters who have experience with children who may have specific requirements. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at any time.
