A U.S. marketplace for finding babysitters, nannies, elder and pet care.

Sittercity connects families with local caregivers for child care, senior companion help, special-needs support, and pet care. Families can post a job, review caregiver profiles with experience details and parent reviews, and message candidates who fit their needs.

Why it stands out

  • Covers several household-care categories instead of only babysitting or only pet care.
  • Shows practical profile signals such as CPR/First Aid, degree or language skills, response time, and last login.
  • Supports both one-off care and recurring arrangements, including nannies, after-school help, senior companion care, and pet care.
  • Has a large review base and claims coverage across most U.S. neighborhoods.
  • Includes access for some Bright Horizons benefit members, which may reduce separate sign-up friction.

Good to know

  • Availability and candidate quality will still vary by neighborhood despite broad U.S. coverage.
  • The site promotes free searching but also mentions paid value plans, so some contact or hiring features may require payment.
  • Safety features and background checks help with screening, but families still need to interview, verify fit, and make their own hiring decisions.

Under the radar: If you receive Bright Horizons benefits through an employer or school, check the activation option before creating a separate paid plan because Sittercity may already be included.
