Parent Testimonials
I’m so thankful for the past two years with Babysitting Connection!
When working for BC you have the ability to work around a busy schedule, the parents are great with communication, the BC team is great with communication and I love the BC group meets. They have always been supportive, kind, and structured. If you’re looking for a job I recommend Babysitting Connection. I’m so thankful for the past two years with Babysitting Connection!
It was a no-brainer decision
I heard about Babysitting Connection from a mom’s group on social media, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have learned about them. Once we realized that membership meant access to an entire team of pre-vetted, experienced, qualified childcare professionals, and it enabled us to schedule a babysitter at literally any time of the day any day of the week we needed (even for occasional date nights), AND that they would match you with a ‘consistent care’ sitter if you wanted, it was a no-brainer decision.
I don’t know how we would have gotten through the past year and a half without them
I’ve used babysitting connection since 2021 and have had a wonderful experience. Beth and Paty are always there to assist with questions or booking, I don’t know how we would have gotten through the past year and a half without them. Highly recommend!
Above all, they are kind and responsible
I’ve always relied on my own connections for my babysitting needs, but my work load has increased and the importance of reliable childcare have become more and more important. I turned to Beth to find me consistent care with quality sitters and she has MORE than provided. I’ve had the privilege of working now with several sitters on her staff and they are all wonderful and unique. Above all, they are kind and responsible. Beth runs a fantastic business!!!

CONSISTENT CARE FAQ'S
Our matches range from 6 weeks to 3 months in duration. After your match ends, you can always discuss extending the match with your sitter. While some of our families have been matched with their sitter(s) for over a year, the average is 3 months.
We do this to provide both you and your sitter(s) with flexibility. You are not locked into any long-term agreement like you are with a nanny. This means you can choose to try out a new sitter, leave the program, or continue with the same sitter if they are still available at the end of your match.
Because you are booking with a sitter consistently and for 1+ months out, we recommend offering a higher hourly rate than you would pay to a sporadic sitter you book through our system. While you do not have to offer a higher hourly rate, you cannot offer a lower rate. You can see our rates here and then decide what your family is willing to pay.
Yes! For our Consistent Care program we allow families to virtually chat with and book test sits with a potential match. We do not allow in-person interviews, but we encourage a virtual chat with any potential matches and we require at least one trial sit with a sitter before scheduling your consistent sits.
The matching process typically takes 4-6 weeks depending on your specific schedule, children’s ages, and location. We recommend booking any sitters you need through our system while we are working to find you someone consistent.
There is no additional fee to join this program. However, you must be on the appropriate membership level to cover all the sits you are booking with your sitter(s) each month. Just like every Babysitting Connection member, you will be paying your sitter their hourly rate directly. We recommend offering a higher hourly rate than is listed in our rates section because you are asking for a higher level of commitment. While you do not have to offer a higher hourly rate, you cannot offer a lower rate.

My first experience with childcare was watching younger children between the ages of 1-5 at church.
Ever since then I have enjoyed helping younger children and teaching them. I took Ready, Set, Teach for two years in high school where I worked with children of different age groups and different needs.
I am now at Texas state university, am a certified phlebotomist technician and a registered dental assistant. My favorite activities do at sits are arts and crafts, make cookies and play outside.

Infant Training
I am currently an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Dallas studying biology as a pre-med student, with the hope of going into pediatrics. I have always found working with children to be fun and rewarding! I have had the privilege to participate in the UTeach Dallas program which has provided me with opportunities to interact with and teach lessons to children in elementary and middle school classrooms and I have also worked as a swim instructor in the city of Garland for children from 9 months to 15 years. I adore getting to know the children I am caring for and I will never fail to make them laugh! I know how to make learning fun, and I would love to help them out with their education. I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, watching movies, and doing arts and crafts, and I would be happy to take your child swimming and create games to play with them. If there are pets to care for, it would only be a bonus to me! I look forward to sitting for you!

I am a babysitter at babysitting connection. It is such a healthy workplace here! Management respects my school schedule, and there is plenty of flexibility. As well, I always feel safe on my sits and even look forward to meeting families.
There have been some genuinely memorable experiences on the job exploring all of the pockets and people of Austin. I definitely recommend working here!”
I absolutely love working here. I started when I was in college and then kept doing it after I graduated (part time) because it is just so fun to play with kids and get paid on my own time.
The management is also spectacular. They are always willing to hear us out and they set clear expectations on both ends to do their best to make everybody happy. I’ve been with Babysitter Connection for over a year now and I am so glad I joined in the first place.

Meet Beth Heyer
Founder and CEO
After becoming a mom, I discovered my true passion.
Moms.
Moms have a big job, the hardest job. If there is one thing I have learned since becoming a mom, it’s that moms need a whole lot of help and support, and may not always know where or how to get it.
That’s where Babysitting Connection comes in. I imagined what I would want in a babysitter agency, well qualified, verified and background checked sitters, and I created just that.
As a mother, I know the stressor of leaving our kids in the best hands. I would never add a sitter to our roster who I would not trust in my own home caring for my own children.
