After-School SmartSitters

From homework help to meal preparation to bed and bath-time, our after-school SmartSitters help families bridge that tricky afternoon to evening gap until June rolls along. Whether doing a math project or playing a game of Guess Who, SmartSitters constantly ignite your child’s imagination and encourage their curiosities.

Full Time SmartSitters

The more time a SmartSitter has to create, explore, teach, and learn with your children, the better. Our focused and nurturing SmartSitters understand the value of a young mind and work to engage children consistently during their most formative years.

Infant SmartSitters

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 sitters have been CPR/First Aid Certified.

Special Needs SmartSitters

Our special needs babysitters are patient, empathetic, and have often have had personal and professional experience with children 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.
