Meet Our Team

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.
