SmartSitting has a trained and experienced group of infant SmartSitters to help you out with your littlest and most precious cargo. SmartSitting is here to make every moment count by involving your children in engaging and educational activities from day one.

While we know it can be difficult to leave your loved one with a sitter for the first time, we are here to make sure that transition goes as wonderfully and smoothly as possible. Safety is our number one concern and all infant babysitters have been CPR/First Aid Certified.

We work with a select number of SmartSitters seeking full-time, long-term childcare positions (both live-in and live-out). These sitters have years of babysitting, nannying, and/or teaching experience, and are looking to provide top-notch care and educational guidance to the children they work with.

SmartSitting works with graduates of top colleges and universities from across the country (and world!) as well as current and former certified teachers. Our SmartSitters come from very diverse backgrounds and fields - we work with actors, graduate students, social workers and therapists, musicians, entrepreneurs ... the list goes on! The common thread that ties together our SmartSitters is that they are passionate, enthusiastic individuals with long histories of childcare and/or teaching experience, a true love of working with children, and an ability and desire to make stable commitments to SmartFamilies.

SmartSitting works with a select number of top students from local colleges and universities (primarily New York University, Columbia, Barnard, and King's College). Our SmartSitters are SmartSitting while studying everything from Biology to Theater to Early Childhood Development. The common thread that ties together our SmartSitters is that they are passionate, enthusiastic individuals with long histories of childcare and/or teaching experience, a true love of working with children, and an ability and desire to make stable commitments to SmartFamilies.

We have a select number of excellent candidates available for summer sitting in the Hamptons. Live-in weekend sitting can also be arranged throughout the year. As we have a limited number of sitters available in the Hamptons, please book in advance!

We hold weekly (sometimes daily!) interviews for wonderful sitters who have after-school availability and the ability to commit for at least one school year. We understand that all families have different needs, so we accept sitters with different types of weekly availability.

A special group of our SmartSitters truly loves, and has extensive experience, working with children with special needs. Each child with special needs is different, and our phone and in home consultations will help us determine which of our SmartSitters would work best with your family. Our special needs sitters are patient, empathetic, and have often have had personal experience – either themselves or with family members – with learning disabilities and other cognitive challenges. The personalized attention our SmartSitters provide and the strong bonds that they build with the children they care for allow these children to make immense personal and educational strides.

Safety is our first concern at SmartSitting. We have partnered with NY Metro CPR to make CPR classes available to our team of sitters.
