Answers to Your Questions

Account registration is free, with no obligations. With a Basic membership plan, you can browse all of the registered families in your area, invite your favourites to visit your profile, and send replies to get to know more about those who message you - all for no cost.

If you find the perfect job and can’t wait for the family to get in touch, however, a Premium subscription will allow you to start your own conversations and access other exclusive features:

1 month Premium membership: €9,95
3 months Premium membership: €17,85 (€5,95 per month)

Please note, your Premium membership will automatically be renewed for the same period of time as you originally signed up for. Remember, you can cancel anytime and still retain access to Sitly’s exclusive Premium features until the end of the current billing period.

Your babysitting earnings will vary greatly depending on how old you are, how much experience you have, how many kids you’re taking care of, and how far away you live. We recommend setting your base rate at minimum wage levels to start.

Keep in mind that it’s normal to ask for a little extra pay if you consent to extra tasks – like picking up the kids or doing certain chores around the house – but be sure to lay out clear expectations in advance. Then, do your best to agree on an hourly rate that is fair for everyone involved.

No, it’s not necessary to give your complete work history to Sitly or anyone else on our platform. Simply edit your profile to add any relevant information you wish to share directly with parents. We do suggest you calculate how many years of previous nanny services or babysitting experience you have, and organize any references’ contact information you might want to send later.

Parents prefer sitters who have worked with children in the past because it gives them a greater sense of trust and confidence that their kids will be in good hands. So, if you don’t have any childcare experience, you’ll probably need to lay a little groundwork before you’re able to land a formal job.

To kick off your babysitting career, ask family members about watching your younger siblings, cousins, or nieces and nephews – or check in with your neighbours about babysitting the kids next door. This way, you can gain some firsthand experience and improve your chances of finding a great job as a babysitter or nanny!

To find a babysitting job online fast, you’ll need to make a great first impression with a picture-perfect profile. Make sure you tell families who you are, what you’re looking for, why you like working as a sitter, and when you’re available.

Keep in mind that you are 5 times more likely to be hired by a family when you have a good profile picture. So put your best foot forward by uploading a headshot or portrait that follows our photo guidelines: neutral background, no filters, nice and centered.

Download the Sitly app so you can reply right away to interested families. If you don’t want to wait for parents to get in touch, consider upgrading to a Premium membership so you can send the first message as soon as new jobs get posted.

The babysitting interview is your time to shine, which may feel like a lot of pressure, but you can put your nerves to bed by showing up well-prepared. Most parents will want to ask you about a lot of general information regarding your background and your approach to babysitting.

Review our 10-Step Guide for Babysitters for a list of common interview questions so you can rehearse some answers beforehand. When it’s time for your interview with the family, remember to be punctual, polite, and professional so clients can see how serious you are about being a sitter.
