BabysitEase is a babysitter placement service that helps parents with occasional, short term & long term child care. Once you have registered with the service you can get a sitter whenever you need one. You can log onto the website using your email address and the password you create when you register. We don’t require a minimum number of hours each week or a contract, which nanny placement services would require. Each time you use a sitter, you’ll pay the scheduling fee to BabysitEase and the hourly rate to the sitter at the end of the evening, cash or check.

We do all the recruiting, interviewing, and qualifying of sitters over 18, so you don’t have to! Our sitters are college students, they are moms, they are nannies, and some are even professionals in their field that still help out on nights & weekends. You don’t need to call your 10 sitters until you find one that’s available. You only make a request once & you can even do it online- any time of day, so you don’t have to wait until someone gets into the office. Also, if the sitter would cancel we will work to replace it instead of leaving you in a bind.

We do not guarantee the same sitter for your sits, and if you are looking for the same sitter it is best to request a consistent sit and as the sit continues a regular sitter may fall into place. Each time you schedule a sit going forward it emails your past sitters to help create some consistency for both families & sitters. If you have a long term sit request, we’ll check with our sitters to see who is available to fill the request. We’ll work to get you the same sitter, but again, we can’t guarantee it will be the same one.

While the majority of our sitters have been through CPR / Red Cross Babysitter certification this is an annual certification and many of our sitters do not get re-certified annually.

We don’t do a comprehensive criminal background check which checks every county in the country for any criminal activities. Even if we did, many of our sitters are college age so it may only be a few months of information available since records before 18 are sealed. We do a public records check, check references, both childcare and personal or professional, and we also do a non-traditional internet search.

You are asked to provide a lot of information to BabysitEase during registration. You should feel comfortable knowing that we protect your information online utilizing many techniques and tools including individually unique userids and passwords. We ask that you protect your userid and password by not writing this information down or giving it to others. We request this information to help our babysitters and families know a little more about the person coming into their home or the person whose home they will be entering. Please do not create dummy data but input the correct information so we can serve you better.

A longterm sit is a request for the same sitter. We offer two options. A three month sitter buy out for $500 or a one year buy out for $1500. In a buy out relationship, you can speak with the sitter directly, use the sitter as often as needed, have full access to the sitter's schedule, negotiate sitter rate and utilize the sitter for tasks outside of childcare if agreed upon the start of the sitter buy out.

We have a fill rate around 97% for all of our sit requests, so we'll do our best to get you a sitter! But, in the case that we don't, we'll call you on your family phone number the day before the sit to let you know.

Call BabysitEase at (859) 442-7487 and we'll get working on a solution!

BabysitEase is not a nanny agency. Many of the families that end up with nannies from BSE first met them as sitters and then opted to work with that sitter exclusively for a term, such as summer break or the school year. We can provide full or part time childcare, but cannot guarantee it will be the same person.

Our parents can cancel due to weather conditions in the last 24 hours without any last minute cancellation fees. There will be no refund for the scheduling fees for the sits that have been placed. If parents choose to cancel their sits because they aren't going to be heading out of the house or they don't feel comfortable having the sitters travel in the weather conditions, just give BabysitEase a call. We allow the sitters the same courtesy to cancel during this time as well.
