Common questions
- Who are the sitters?
- Off-duty pros who already work with families like yours during the week — Registered Behavior Technicians, Direct Support Professionals, paraeducators, and special education teachers. We background-check them and call their references before they ever appear in your matches.
- How does pricing work?
- Two ways. A monthly membership starting at $100 for 3 hours, or a $45/hour drop-in (with a one-time $50 onboarding fee on your first booking). Same flat rate every time — no insurance billing, no surge pricing.
- What kind of help is this — and what isn't it?
- It is companionship and supervision from someone who already understands kids like yours. It is not a substitute for what happens in clinics or schools, and the sitters do not run behavior plans or hand out medications. They keep their professional roles for their day jobs.
- How fast can I book?
- Most bookings confirm within a few hours. Two-hour minimum, and we ask for as much notice as you can give us — but last-minute happens, and we'll do our best.
A few hours back. Ready when you are.
No pressure. Sign up, tell us about your kid, and book when you're ready.
