Or even a full-time nanny, or backup babysitting and childcare when juggling work and after-school pickups becomes too hectic. We've made it easy to book the caregiver or babysitter you need. So you are 100% sure that both you and your baby, toddler or young child can live your life to the fullest. Enjoy the back to school period and that personal time at the yoga studio, or stay focused at work, knowing your child is in good hands after-school with a babysitter they love.
