SitterSync is a mobile app that helps you manage your trusted network of babysitters. You can invite your existing sitters to join, view their real-time availability, send booking requests, and handle payments all in one place. It streamlines the entire process of scheduling and communicating with your childcare providers.

No, currently SitterSync doesn't provide or verify babysitters. Instead, it's a tool for managing your existing network of trusted sitters. You invite the sitters you already know and trust to join your personal SitterSync network, and we take the hassle out of lining up childcare.

SitterSync is free to download. We charge a nominal $1.99 per job as a fee for the platform—less than half the cost of a small coffee for significantly more peace of mind. Easier access to childcare means less stress and more potential for date nights!

Absolutely! One of SitterSync's key features is allowing sitters to set and update their availability in real-time. This makes it easy for parents to see when their favorite sitters are free, reducing back-and-forth communication and streamlining the booking process.

Yes! Our 'First Come, First Serve' feature allows you to send job requests to all your connected sitters simultaneously. This increases your chances of quickly finding available childcare when you need it.

Payments within SitterSync are securely processed through Stripe. Payments are processed immediately for credit cards and have a 3-5 day processing time for bank account transfers. For new sitters, the very first payment may take 3 days to process for security verification.

A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a pre-tax benefit that allows you to set aside up to $7,500 (starting in 2026) per household per year to pay for eligible childcare expenses. These funds reduce your taxable income and can be used for babysitters, daycare, and summer camps.

Qualified expenses include care for a child under 13 or a dependent adult incapable of self-care. Eligible services range from babysitting (including care booked through SitterSync) to daycare and preschool. The care must enable you and your spouse to work.

The employer decides how much support to offer. Employees use their own trusted sitters, book and pay them in the SitterSync app, and generate clean documentation. Employers then reimburse through normal payroll and monitor via the SitterSync admin dashboard.
