Doctor appointments sitters in Boise

St. Luke's Children's pediatric specialty corridor brings a lot of Treasure Valley families into downtown Boise for appointments that stretch — developmental specialists, pediatric neurology, multi-disciplinary clinics. The home sit while you go is often the difference between making the appointment and rescheduling.

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 for a doctor appointments booking

  • 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.

Specific to Boise

Weekday mid-day bookings are easier to fill than evening for appointments. We match faster when you give us 48 hours of notice.

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.
