Frequently Asked Questions

How is Sitter Connection different from other sitter services?

• Sitter Connection is more personal than other services.
• Sitter Connection provides a list of sitters which enables the families to contact the sitters directly.
• The sitters actually enjoy babysitting and are not doing it solely as an easy way to make money.
• All of the sitters are able to provide their own transportation.
• Sitter Connection does not set the pay rate; instead, the pay rate is determined by each sitter.
• All of the sitters are at least 18 years of age.
• Sitter Connection does not take a percentage of the money earned by the babysitters.

Can "The Babysitting List" be sent via e-mail?
Under no circumstance will I e-mail the list. I only provide the list in hard copy form to prevent the possibility of the list being forwarded via e-mail to families who have not purchased a membership.

Do you prorate the cost of the membership? No, I am unable to prorate the cost of the membership.

What if I lose my copy of "The Babysitting List"? There is a $10.00 replacement fee for lost Babysitting Lists.

Am I guaranteed to find a babysitter if I use "The Babysitting List"? No. "The Babysitting List" is a resource tool which is intended to help you find sitters. Hopefully, with the number of sitters on the list, this should not be a problem.

How much do I pay the babysitters? Since the babysitters are self-employed, they set their own pay rate. The average rate for college students is $10-12/hour, although some babysitters have different rates depending on the number of children. Please discuss pay rate with the sitter before she commits to babysit for your family.

What if I have a question, problem, or suggestion? Please share your comments with Sitter Connection via e-mail or a phone call.
