How booking works

  1. 1

    Tell us about your family

    Names, ages, the evenings you need, anything we should know. A message or a call is fine.

  2. 2

    Meet your sitter

    A free fifteen-minute video call with the sitter we think fits, then a short visit if you like.

  3. 3

    Book the evenings

    By message or phone. Regular families keep the same sitter every week.

  4. 4

    Pay after

    One bill at the end of the month, or use the hours from a pack.
