For families
Doctor-appointment sitters for the days the calendar gets full
Some weeks the calendar is mostly waiting rooms. Sometimes the appointment is yours, not your kid's, and the right move is for one of them to stay home with someone you trust.
Our sitters are available weekdays as well as weekends. Same vetting, same pay, same kind of person who already does this work.
What to expect
- Appointment bookings tend to be the shortest we see — our 2-hour minimum usually covers a check-up plus drive time.
- If your kid has a strict midday routine, write it in the booking notes. Lunch, nap, screen time — the sitter will follow it.
- Daytime bookings are easier to fill on short notice than weekend evenings — if your appointment moved up, try us.
Booking tips
- If you're a member, weekday daytime is a great use of your included hours — supply is high and competition is low.
- Some families pre-book a recurring weekday window each month for the appointments they know are coming. Talk to the sitter — favoriting works for repeat bookings too.
- Sitters do not give medication. If your kid takes a midday dose, plan to be home in time, or skip booking on those days.
Common questions
- Can the sitter drive my kid to a sibling's school pickup?
- Not in v1 — bookings happen at your home, not on the road.
- What if my appointment runs over?
- Text the sitter through the app. Most are happy to stay an extra hour. Charges adjust at the end.
