COVID19 AND BABYSITTING:

We encourage our Sitters and clients to assess risk and discuss the precautions needed to ensure Babysittings are as safe as possible for all concerned.  Please ask your Sitter any questions you deem relevant in the context of the Covid19 pandemic.

 

NANNY OR BABYSITTER?

A Babysitter is:

An experienced carer who will look after a family’s children occasionally,  usually not on a fixed schedule, or perhaps on a regular basis but for short amounts of time. You may find yourself working with more than one Babysitter, because it will be hard for any one carer to pledge availability if you cannot know in advance when and how often you might need cover. If you need a Babysitter, you are in the right place.

Our Sitters are very well known to Extra Arms and can care for children from three months.

A Nanny is:

A carer that will commit to working with family mid to long term on a fixed schedule.If you need a Nanny, please click here.

SAFETY FIRST!

  • Provide your Sitter with any and all information regarding the children and your home that he/she will need in order to keep everyone safe!

  • Ensure your Sitter has at least one, ideally two contact numbers for you, and/or the name/address of the location at which you will be spending the night. If there is a chance that you will be hard to get a hold of, provide your Sitter with the number of a next of kin, trusted friend or neighbor they can contact in case of an emergency.
