It's free to create an account with Sitters.

You can browse sitter profiles and read reviews without paying a penny.

To use the service, you'll need an active membership, and payments to your sitter are made separately after each booking.

Sitters.co.uk is 100% cashless, with all payments taken via the Sitters app.

Costs are split between membership fees and payment to your sitter.

Membership costs £17.99 for 3 months and will renew unless you cancel.

There’s no commitment – you can cancel or pause your membership anytime online or in the app.

Each sitter sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile before you book.

Rates are per family, not per child, and can vary depending on location and experience.

You’ll pay your sitter securely via the Sitters app at the end of each booking.

Please note, unfortunately we are unable to accept Childcare vouchers or Child Tax Credits.
