Curated local sitter networks · Launching community by communityFor Canadian families
A more curated way to find a babysitter.
Instead of scrolling through endless profiles or posting in a Facebook group, families post a booking request and hear from sitters in their local Sitters Co network.
You still choose the sitter who feels right for your home. We make the process easier by building local sitter networks carefully, collecting useful profile information, and supporting bookings through the platform.
Launching in small local waves, starting with select Canadian communities.
What is Sitters Co Canada
A modern, local-first way to find and book babysitters.
We're building local sitter networks carefully — each sitter is interviewed, reference-checked, and completes onboarding before becoming bookable. You post a booking, hear from a smaller pool of relevant, prepared sitters in your area, choose who feels right, and pay securely through the app.
How it works
Booking a sitter, the easy way.
- 01
Post a booking
Share when you need a sitter, where, and any details that matter — bedtime routine, allergies, pets. It takes about a minute.

More than a directory
A complete booking platform — not just a list of names.
Most sitter sites stop at the search bar. Sitters Co handles the whole booking, from request to payment.
Pre-screened sitters
Interviews, references, and background checks before any sitter goes live.
Real availability
You only see sitters who are actually available for your booking window.
One booking, many responses
Post once and let interested sitters come to you — no more group-chat begging.
Secure in-app payments
Pay through the platform. Sitters get paid reliably, you get a receipt.
Local-first
We launch town by town so the sitters you see actually live nearby.
Built for repeat bookings
Save favourites and rebook the sitters your kids love.
See it in action
