Emergency Babysitting Services

If you are looking for a standing Saturday night babysitter, a last minute babysitter, or your nanny is ill and you still need coverage, Sitter Select is the perfect choice for your emergency babysitting needs.

We will help you find someone who is CPR & First Aid certified, reference checked, background cleared by Child Abuse History Clearance specific to Pennsylvania, and interviewed personally by a Sitter Select team member.

Our Contract With Our Sitters Promises:

  • Your Privacy

    Babysitters will not post pictures of children while babysitting.

  • Your Security

    Babysitters will not “check-in” while on sitting assignments (i.e. Foursquare, Facebook location, etc.).

  • Communication

    Babysitters will use smart phones for emergency calls only and for communication with parents or Sitter Select team members about the children under their care.

  • Our Full Attention

    Babysitters will restrict internet usage on smart phones while children under their care are awake.

Sitter Select loves working with families who know they need care in advance.  We suggest always booking as soon as you know the date and time of your estimated sitting project. That said, we almost always match emergency babysitting requests within 24 hours from your call.  Please do not hesitate to contact us with last minute care, we will do our best to fulfill all requests.
