Finding a childcare provider that you can trust–whether it’s a babysitter, a nanny, and au pair, or a childcare program–is one of the biggest challenges that NYC parents go through. The search can be daunting, and once you’ve found an option you’re comfortable with, the issue of negotiating compensation with a sitter or nanny can be hard to know how to approach. Enter UrbanSitter.

UrbanSitter is an app that helps parents connect with trusted and vetted sitters in their communities. Their Sitter Lists show the most popular, highly-reviewed sitters as rated by parents in your school, neighborhood, church, or parents, group; parents can choose to become a member of the service or to pay as they go. And one very important factor is that app lets you schedule payments as well so you never have to deal with counting cash at the door at the end of an evening out.
