Treasure Valley
Special-needs Sidekicks in Boise, Idaho
Special-needs sitters in Boise, Idaho.
Boise families have more pediatric specialty options than anywhere else in the state, and more families balancing two working parents with a kid whose needs don't fit a regular childcare schedule. We started here because of both.
Our Boise sitters live in the city — the North End, East End, the Bench, West Boise, the foothills. They drive to your door. They know the area. They've been in homes like yours.
Boise neighborhoods
Where we work in your part of the valley

Local context
Pediatric and family services nearby
Boise has the lion's share of the valley's pediatric specialty providers — St. Luke's Children's, Saint Alphonsus, the children's hospital outpatient network. Many of our sitters work with kids who are clients of those providers during the week. They know what a hard day looks like, and they know how to keep a quiet evening quiet.
Why families book
What Boise families use us for
Boise parents most often book us for Saturday-night dates downtown, fundraisers and weddings at the Riverside or Modern hotels, sibling sports games out in the foothills, and weekday appointments where dragging both kids to the waiting room is the wrong move.

A couple of Boise-specific questions
- Do Boise sitters cover the foothills?
- Yes — most of our active Boise sitters list a 15-mile travel radius. Hidden Springs and the Stack Rock side of the foothills are doable; deeper into the Boise National Forest is not.
- What about downtown apartments and condos?
- Common. Mention parking and any lobby/key-card details in your booking notes — sitters appreciate it.
