Take Some Time Off For Yourself with the Hello Sitter App
Hello Sitter is an on-demand childcare app that enables parents in New York City to quickly and easily book fully vetted, carefully curated and highly experienced sitters. The app is free and there are no membership fees or booking charges, so it’s great for visitors too.
Hello Sitter is a convenient solution for parents who want trustworthy sitters to look after their children, but don’t have time to effectively seek out and vet their options. That’s where the app’s unique matching algorithm comes in: it ensures users find not only a thoroughly vetted and available sitter, but that they find the right sitter for their child.
Founder of Hello Sitter, Lauren Mansell, explains that she created the app when she had left her job to start a business: “I was in need of flexible childcare so I could attend the odd meeting or focus on brainstorming and researching. It was then that I realized that it was hard to find sitters on short notice, and that if I did find sitters, they were not always reliable or engaging with my daughter.”
