SmartSitting provides you with the opportunity to meet the best babysitters in NYC, all in one convenient location.

Whether you're looking to find the perfect babysitter to meet your family's needs or are simply looking to get know a range of babysitters available whenever you are in need of childcare — SmartSitting provides you with all the resources you'll need to find the perfect babysitter, or babysitters, for your family. By joining SmartSitting's network, you will also be assigned a SmartSitting coordinator, who will always be available to arrange schedules, payment, and answer any questions you may have.

Too often, babysitting is seen as merely the occupation of a child's time — a passive enterprise geared towards preserving peace and quiet rather than cultivating a child's passions and abilities. SmartSitting offers a new concept in childcare — to engage with and impassion the young minds we are privileged to have in our care. Whether it be summer days spent developing a child's new-found interest in filmmaking into a full-fledged documentary project, or afterschool study time helping a budding botanist identify neighborhood plants for a science fair, SmartSitting aims to transform your children's time with us into an exploration of the wide world around them.

Engagement, commitment, and an active relationship with your children are what drive SmartSitting to offer you the best possible match between your family and our expert sitters. You will have the opportunity to interview any number of candidates until you find the right sitter whose personality and experience truly fits your family's individual needs and character.

SmartSitting presents a new form of childcare centered around increasing your child's intellectual potential. We believe that learning is an exciting process which will enhance your child's overall development and self-esteem. If, as Yeats once said, 'education is lighting a fire, not filling a bucket,' SmartSitting aims to spark and stoke opportunities for learning for as long as our time with your family allows.

SmartSitters hail from top-flight colleges, are fluent in 13 different languages, and – most importantly – are devoted to sharing their passions with children. We carefully select the most experienced, most reliable, and most engaging individuals to join our network and aim to rediscover 'babysitting' as an active engagement of a child’s imagination rather than as a passive enterprise of occupying the child’s time.
