“Uber” of Babysitters can send you a babysitter in 2 hours

KidSitter, a service that provides trusted, local and fully-vetted babysitters, has grown its footprint to all of London with hundreds of qualified childcare professionals – perfect for Mother’s Day. Designed to give busy, hard working parents a break, KidSitter can send you a babysitter in as little as 2 hours.

 

Founded by London Business School and Harvard alumni, KidSitter is a secure and curated online marketplace, with a mission to connect parents with trusted and vetted babysitters. “Our entire philosophy and ethos is built around trust”, says co-founder and CEO, Faisal Laljee. As such, KidSitter uses a thorough 5-step vetting process to ensure they work with only the very best babysitters, most of who are nannies, childminders, nurses and teachers. According to George Chan, co-founder and COO, “For every 10 babysitters who wish to work with us, only 1 will meet our strict criteria”.

 

The idea for KidSitter was born when George, found himself disappointed with the lack of short-notice options available for babysitting his 7-year old. “Parents can count on KidSitter to provide them with the peace of mind, that someone trustworthy and qualified is looking after their child while they enjoy a night out or run their errands”, adds George. After working together on the idea for over 6 months, the founders launched KidSitter in central London in 2015 and prompted by demand, have increased their service to all of London. “We can send you a trusted babysitter in as little as 2 hours, across most of London for only £12 per hour with no joining fees, booking fees or added extras”, quotes Faisal.

 

With well over 10,000 sits completed and 50,000+ hours of childcare delivered, 95% of parents who have used KidSitter have given a 5-star rating to their experience, with feedback such as:

“Reliable and wonderful service for families looking for someone trustworthy and competent to take care of their child.”

“KidSitter provides an amazing service – they do everything they can to provide families with high quality babysitters”

 

All KidSitter babysitters have passed a comprehensive 5-step vetting process. They are all DBS checked (formerly known as CRB check), reference checked and interviewed face-to-face. You can view sitter reviews before booking, and booking a babysitter is a quick 3-step process online.

 

So go ahead, give mum the perfect gift this Mother’s Day and book a trusted babysitter on KidSitter.co.uk. You can also purchase childcare gift cards for future babysitting.
