Babysitting quest questions.

Everything you need to know about earning as a babysitting Human.

Do I need childcare qualifications?

Most families look for references and a background check rather than a formal certificate. Experience with the right age group matters most.

How do I get my first sitting?

Complete your profile, verify your ID, and start with one-off evening sittings near you. Most turn into repeat bookings.

Do I meet the family first?

Yes, most families arrange a short meet before the first booking. It is the norm, not an imposition.
