For sitters

If you do this work in your day job, your weekend has options.

Set your hours. Show up to families who'll respect what you bring. Get paid fairly. No managers, no behavior plans, no documentation — just supervision and a few hours of your weekend.

The deal

What you get

  • $25/hour, flat. Same for every credential, every booking.
  • You set your availability. No quotas, no minimum hours.
  • You pick your bookings. Decline anything that doesn't work.
  • Background check is on us. So is the sex-offender registry check.
  • Faster payouts as you build trust. Senior Sidekicks get 1–3 day; Instant Sidekicks same-day for $2.
  • You're sitting, not working. No behavior plans. No documentation. None of the day-job demands.

Who we're looking for

Four credentials. Pick the one that fits your day job — each page has details on what we expect and what we don't.
