Britain's leading evening babysitting agency
Originally founded by parents Lucie and Stephen Allen, Sitters
childcare agency is now Britain's favourite evening childcare
provider. During 2006 Sitters merged with Childminders of London,
originally established in 1967 and London's most successful
babysitting service for more than 30 years. Together we have more
experience than anyone in selecting suitable child carers and
arranging evening babysitting.
"The original idea of a nationwide network of professional
evening babysitters sprung from our own need for reliable,
experienced childcarers to babysit in the evenings for our two
boys. We found we needed babysitters both when we were at home in
Buckinghamshire and when visiting Dorset at weekends.
Today our enthusiastic and dedicated team are able to provide
evening child care in all but the most remote locations. With a
nationwide network of many thousands of carefully vetted,
experienced childcarers we are able to provide babysitters for more
than 95% of the requests we receive from across the UK.
Our aim is to provide busy parents with a convenient, reliable
and trustworthy service so they can enjoy an active, stress-free
social life. Every month we delight thousands of parents helping
them make evening childcare arrangements. Let us delight you too by
providing experienced evening babysitters just when you need them -
all with the convenience of secure online booking or a single
freephone phone call."
