Disclaimer

Last updated: August 2026

RecommendedSitters.com is a directory of parent-submitted recommendations. We do not screen, interview, background-check, certify, employ, supervise, or endorse any babysitter listed here. Deciding whom to hire — and doing your own due diligence first — is entirely your responsibility as a parent or guardian.

Recommendations are user-generated

Every recommendation on this site was written by a member of the public who told us they personally hired that babysitter. Recommendations are personal opinions, not verified facts, and they do not represent the views of RecommendedSitters.

We make a reasonable effort to confirm that a recommending parent is a real person — for example by reviewing a public Facebook or LinkedIn profile — and we moderate submissions before they appear. That is a light check for authenticity, not an investigation of the babysitter, the parent, or the accuracy of anything either of them says.

What we do not do

  • We do not run criminal background checks or sex-offender registry searches.
  • We do not verify identity, age, address, or immigration or work status.
  • We do not verify certifications such as CPR, first aid, childcare training, or driving records.
  • We do not contact or confirm references.
  • We do not supervise, train, schedule, pay, or manage any babysitter.

Badges and trust indicators

Any badge, rating, count, or trust indicator on the site reflects information users submitted and steps we describe on our Safety & Trust page. A badge is not a certification, a guarantee of safety, or an endorsement of any person.

Please do your own screening

Before leaving a child with anyone, we strongly encourage parents to:

  • Meet and interview the sitter in person.
  • Ask for and contact multiple references directly.
  • Verify identification and any claimed certifications.
  • Consider a professional background check where lawful and appropriate.
  • Start with a short trial visit while you are at home.
  • Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, do not proceed.

Independent relationships

Babysitters listed on this site are independent individuals. They are not employees, contractors, agents, or representatives of RecommendedSitters. Any agreement, schedule, payment, or employment relationship is strictly between the parent and the babysitter, and any resulting legal, tax, or insurance obligations belong to them.

Accuracy of listings

Rates, availability, experience and other listing details are provided by sitters and parents and may be out of date or incorrect. Always confirm details directly with the sitter.

Reporting a problem

If you see inaccurate, misleading, or concerning content — or you have a safety concern about anyone on this site — email greg@walkntours.com and we will review it. In an emergency, contact your local authorities first.
