Childcare-Locating Apps

'Hello Sitter' Helps Parents to Find and Book a Babysitter

— July 11, 2016 — Tech
Have plans, but the babysitter cancels at the last minute? 'Hello Sitter' is a new app that parents in New York City will love to use. The app helps parents to find available sitters, but what makes it so unique is that parents can select specifics of what they're looking for in a sitter. Parents can also input details about their child, such as allergies and medications or the child's bedtime routine.

After creating the profile and selecting the date needed for the sitter the app will pull up the top three sitters that are available and best match the parent's request. To make parents feel more at ease, all of the sitters have undergone extensive background checks before being listed on the app. Payment for childcare is also taken care of through the app.

Hello Sitter is the perfect new app for the busy parent looking for the best childcare.
