Frequently asked questions
What is Sitly and how does it work?
Sitly is an online platform that connects parents with babysitters in their local area. Parents create a profile, search for babysitters based on location, availability, experience, and reviews, and contact them directly through the platform. Babysitters create a profile to be found by families looking for childcare. Sitly is available via web and mobile app on iOS and Android.
Is Sitly available in my country?
Sitly is available in 20 countries across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Romania, Portugal, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Malaysia. Each country has its own local version of the platform.
Is Sitly free to use?
Sitly offers both free and premium membership options for parents and babysitters. A free account allows users to create a profile and browse the platform. They can also mark favourites. Parents can see how many sitters applied for their jobs, and sitters can send up to 3 free invites to parents to check their profiles. Premium membership unlocks extended access, such as the ability to send and receive messages and view full profiles. For parents, it also means they can see who applied to their job, and babysitters can send unlimited invites. Pricing varies by market.
How is Sitly different from other babysitting platforms?
Sitly is a local, community-focused platform operating across 20 countries, with each market having its own dedicated local version in the relevant language.

With 15 million users worldwide, Sitly is one of the largest childcare matching platforms globally.
Is Sitly safe to use?
Sitly takes safety seriously. The platform features verified user reviews, profile moderation, and is fully GDPR-compliant across all European markets. Parents can read reviews from other families before contacting a babysitter, helping them make informed decisions. Sitly encourages users to meet in person before confirming arrangements and to trust their own judgement when selecting a match.
