Make dependent care benefits actually work for your clients.
SitterSync helps employees use the childcare they already rely on while making DCFSA and employer subsidy programs easier to use and easier to support.
Why consultants recommend SitterSync
SitterSync gives you a differentiated solution that solves real problems for your clients without adding complexity to your practice.
Solves the real childcare gap
Most employees rely on personal sitters, family members, or other caregivers, not daycare centers. SitterSync is the only platform that supports these trusted caregivers within the benefits ecosystem.
Makes DCFSA feel usable again
Families often skip DCFSA enrollment because the reimbursement process is confusing or their provider does not work with traditional systems. SitterSync automates compliance and documentation so employees can finally use what they are entitled to.
Cleaner Admin Story
No more chasing receipts, verifying providers, or fielding frustrated employee calls. SitterSync generates IRS-ready documentation automatically, reducing the administrative burden on HR and TPA teams.
Fiscal Efficiency
Higher DCFSA utilization means greater FICA savings for employers. SitterSync removes the friction that keeps employees from spending their DCFSA dollars on the personal caregivers and babysitters they already use, turning an underused benefit into a measurable financial win.
An easy add-on, not a new category
SitterSync layers into existing benefit structures like DCFSAs and employer subsidies. There is no need to build a new category or displace an incumbent. It enhances what your clients already offer.
Why personal sitters make better business sense
Discover why supporting families' trusted caregivers drives higher engagement, reduces costs, and simplifies administration compared to traditional backup care and childcare benefit solutions.
Better cost efficiency versus emergency backup or agencies
- No markup fees that come with agency or platform sitters
- No minimum hour requirements typically associated with backup care
- Lower administrative costs compared to verifying and managing a sitter network
Greater employee trust & satisfaction
- Parents highly value the ability to use caregivers they've personally vetted and already trust
- Eliminates anxiety around using unfamiliar caregivers
- Supports long-term relationships between families and their sitters
Simpler administration
- No need for complex verification systems
- Reduced liability compared to managing a sitter network
- Fewer customer service issues since families manage their own sitter relationships
Extends beyond traditional care hours
- Personal sitters often provide before/after school care
- Can cover evenings and weekends when backup care typically isn't available
- More flexible for varying schedules and last-minute needs

Getting started with SitterSync is straightforward. We make it easy for you to bring this solution to your clients.
Access and provide resources

Strengthen your renewal narrative
SitterSync gives you a compelling story to tell at renewal time, backed by data, savings, and employee impact.
Aligning Today's Benefits with Today's Families
The workforce has changed. Remote and hybrid work means more families depend on flexible, personal childcare rather than rigid center-based care. SitterSync aligns your clients' benefits with how employees actually live and work today.
Program Scalability
SitterSync works for companies of 50 or 5,000. The platform scales without additional infrastructure, headcount, or administrative overhead, making it easy to roll out across your entire book of business.
Fiscal Efficiency
Every dollar an employee spends through SitterSync against their DCFSA generates FICA savings for the employer. That is a concrete, quantifiable return that strengthens your renewal story and demonstrates your value as an advisor.
