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!!!

Do you need childcare 15+ hours each week?

Join our Consistent Care program where we match your family with the perfect sitter(s) for your short-term needs.
 
Requirements to join the program include: 
  • Babysitting Connection membership. Join at any level to begin the process and upgrade once you are matched!
  • 15+ hours of childcare needed Monday-Friday each week
  • A consistent weekly care schedule for a minimum of 6 weeks
Review from a Consistent Care sitter:
I chose to be matched to a family because I like to have a consistent schedule and pay. I also truly wanted to be able to develop a relationship with the child and the family. When you get to see them on a regular basis you get to know them and you feel like a part of their family. Being able to know the routine of the child and seeing that child growing and developing is my favorite part. I have been with my current family since the baby was 4 months old and now she’s 15 months old and it’s been such a blessing to be a part of all of her milestones and have a deeper relationship with her than “just another sitter”. I would highly recommend this program to any and all sitters. The relationships you develop as well as always having a consist schedule each week is less stressful and the child knows you and is excited to see you instead of seeing you as another sitter or a stranger. “

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.

Babysitting Prices

Prices start at $29.99 a month and $18.00 per hour.

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.
