About Us
Originally founded by parents Lucie and Stephen Allen, Sitters is now Britain's favourite evening childcare provider. During 2006 Sitters merged with Childminders of London, originally established in 1967 and the capital's most successful babysitting service for more than 30 years. Together we have more experience than anyone in selecting suitable 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 babysitters 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."

Sitters is a member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, the trade body that represents and regulates employment agency businesses. We abide by their childcare code of practice.
We are an accredited Investor in People, a standard recognised by the Department for Education and Employment.
