Cancellations

The Cancellation Fee for sits cancelled within the last 24 hours before the start of a scheduled sit. 100% of this fee is passed on to the sitter to compensate for lost hours. We do not issue refunds for the placement fees should you choose to cancel your sit once a sitter has been assigned. However, we will refund your placement fee if we are unable to find you a sitter or if you need to cancel your request before one has been found.

Babysitting (care giver) rates are paid directly to the sitter

(3-hour minimum for families, 2-hour minimum for non-profit groups). All of our sitters accept cash and check payments and most accept digital payments through Venmo, Zelle, Etc.

Overnight Rates

Sitters should be paid the hourly rate for the time children are awake plus $100 for sleeping time.

*If children are in school during the overnight stay and the sitter is responsible to be available to pick them up in case of illness/school closure, sitter should be paid for those hours, as well.

Transportation Fees

Transportation fees only refer to any time a sitter is actively transporting your children from point A to point B.  

Families will be contacted by 6pm if no sitter is available for the next day's sit.

Pet Sitter Rates

An overnight pet sit means the sitter will stay with your pets for at least 10 hours, 12 at the most (e.g. 7pm-7am).

If you'd like them to pop in throughout the day as well, you may want to negotiate with your sitter and find a payment level you're both comfortable with. Although base rates are provided, every situation is different, and the needs of pets vary between families. Therefore, you can negotiate payment with your pet sitter as long as the minimum payment guideline is adhered to.
