Welcome Parents!

The Smart Start Difference:

Understanding What Kids Need and Parents Want

Today's parents want a sitter who is not only caring and reliable, but who also engages with children in ways that foster their emotional, social, and intellectual development. Smart Start Sitters seeks out and trains a select staff of sitters who provide the care and nurturing that parents themselves would give to their own children. That's why Smart Start Sitters are the next best thing to mom and dad!

More than just a babysitting service, Smart Start Sitters advocates positive caregiving and provides educational opportunities for our sitters. Regular workshops, often presented by leaders in the field of child development, ensure that our sitters are trained to understand and appropriately meet the needs of each child in their care.

What is Positive Caregiving?

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) defines this as caregivers who:

  • Have a positive, cheerful attitude
  • Are attentive and respond to a child's vocalizations
  • Tell age-appropriate stories
  • Sing and play with the child
  • Encourage and nurture their charges in their endeavors

More Praise for Smart Start

Smart Start Sitters is a blessing. I use the service for those last minute or occasional times when I need babysitting coverage. Melody takes the stress out of finding an available sitter even with just 24-hour notice. I know whoever she books for me will be terrific!

Your sitter handled the day like a pro. A college graduate, her background is in music so she was happy to sing and dance with my girls. A perfect match!
