Summer Childcare

OUR SUMMER BABYSITTERS

Finding the right summer childcare can be a challenge—especially when summer camps fill up fast, don’t fit your schedule, or simply aren’t the right fit for your child. That’s why we created Summer Camp Sitters, a flexible and stress-free alternative to traditional summer camps.

All Summer Camp Sitters meet the following qualifications:

18+ years old
Have their own reliable transportation
Have previous childcare experience
Clean background and driving record check
CPR Certification
Pass a face to face interview with our team
Attend an orientation explaining our expectations

We pride ourselves in identifying sitters with diverse backgrounds and experiences to meet our members’ needs.

WE'll MATCH YOUR FAMILY WITH THE PERFECT SITTER FOR YOUR SUMMER CHILDCARE NEEDS.

Whether you need full-time care, part-time help, or just a sitter for a few days a week, our trusted, vetted summer babysitters provide engaging, one-on-one care that keeps kids active, entertained, and safe at home or on fun outings

Requirements to join the program include:

Babysitting Connection membership
Flexible childcare – Book care for 1-6 weeks based on your needs.
No long-term commitment – You only book for the weeks you need.
Matching takes 1-2 weeks, so sign up early!
No minimum booking requirement – Schedule care for a full day, half-day, or specific times.
No trial sit required – Matches are made directly.

And the best part? You can still schedule a babysitter outside of your Summer Camp Sitter hours if you need additional coverage.

SUMMER CAMP SITTERS FAQ'S

How long will I be matched with the same sitter(s)?

Our Summer Camp Sitter matches range from 1 week to 3 months in duration. After your match ends, you can continue with our Consistent Care program which is a bit more in-depth and hopes to match you with only one sitter for all the hours you need.

What are the hourly rates for a Summer Camp Sitter?

Because you are booking with a sitter consistently, 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.

Am I allowed to meet my sitter prior to matching?

You aren’t able to meet or interview our sitters because demand is so high and we thoroughly vet our sitters before matching them with your family. Based on all the information we have about your family, what sitter qualities you are looking for, and what hours of childcare you need, we do all the hard work of finding the best fit! We take the stress out of all the sitter interviews and summer camp outreaches you would normally have to do.

How long does it take to get matched with a sitter?

The matching process typically takes at least two 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 if needed.

How much does our Summer Camp Sitter Program Cost?

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.
