Babysitter Requirements


Our babysitters are savvy -- safe, qualified, professional, responsible and energetic!

Picture
Each sitter candidate has childcare experience and has passed the standard Savvy Sitters® screening, including: 
  • A livescan (fingerprint) background check and Trustline authorization,
  • CPR certification,
  • An extensive 3-part interview process, including an interaction portion where candidates must demonstrate their childcare skills,
  • Reference checks, at least 3 of which must be previous childcare employers,
  • DMV record checks, and
  • the Savvy Sitters Orientation program.
Additionally, many of our childcare candidates have Early Childhood Education units and/or are Child Development, Child Psychology, Nursing, or Liberal Studies students or graduates.  Sitter candidates have various levels of childcare experience ranging from several years occasional babysitting to 10+ years professional childcare experience.  We also have caregivers with experience in the following areas: teaching, tutoring, preschool, daycare, children's programs, infants, twins, special needs children, and children with life threatening allergies.
At Savvy Sitters, our sitter candidates are committed to quality care.  They pledge to keep your children safe at all times, to stay off their phones, away from the television, and to creatively engage your children in games, arts and crafts, pretend play, nature walks and more!

“Our sitter was punctual, professional and friendly. She had a wonderful way
of warming up to our son who is not familiar with many sitters.”
Michelle, Mother
