About UrbanSitter - Find a Local Caregiver You Can Trust
Find and book all the sitters and nannies of everyone you trust. All in one place. Unlock your personal network with UrbanSitter: book a local babysitter, nanny or caregiver you’re connected to through friends, co-workers, moms groups and parents from your kid’s school. It's now easy to find a trusted sitter who's passed safety and background checks, and will take care of your baby whenever you need it, even last-minute! Kids will be back to school soon: start planning for childcare now and get to know your after-school sitter and homework helper, for a smooth transition into the school year.
You can now find, interview, book and pay your caregiver with our babysitting app. Is it a last-minute date night sitter you need? Do you want someone to be trusted, who has passed background checks? Someone local who knows exactly how to care for a baby and the amenities of your neighborhood? As children return to school, will you need a homework helper or a morning sitter? Or even a full-time nanny, or backup babysitting and childcare when juggling work and after-school pickups becomes too hectic. We've made it easy to book the caregiver or babysitter you need. So you are 100% sure that both you and your baby, toddler or young child can live your life to the fullest. Enjoy the back to school period and that personal time at the yoga studio, or stay focused at work, knowing your child is in good hands after-school with a babysitter they love.

Supper easy
Fast response time and friendly
I was very excited to use this app, and help out other parents! Of course with covid funds are a little thin. I was looking for promo codes, which I found many that said they were active, some were of course expired. Based on the reviews I'm reading I would love to have a promo code that actually works, so I can try...
Great!
