Due to our tireless and thorough interview process, we meet outstanding people with incredible skill-sets on a regular basis.

We maintain a pre-screened network of New York’s most qualified, experienced and well-educated sitters, mentors and tutors, eliminating the need to sift through masses of applicants to find your perfect match.

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.
