SitterMatch

SitterMatch is a private childcare (or petcare!) network built on real-world trust. Parents and sitters connect by invitation or mutual friend networks, not anonymous browsing. Your trusted circle stays private.

How it works • Parents post when they need childcare; sitters post when they're available • SitterMatch surfaces overlapping windows between friends' networks (if any) • Send a match request, confirm, and it lands on both your calendars

For parents • Post care requests with flexible or exact time windows • Browse availability from friends and their trusted connections • Get instant push notifications when a sitter accepts or declines

For sitters • Share your availability in seconds from the calendar tab • Accept or decline requests from your personal schedule • Confirmed matches can sync directly to iOS Calendar

Private by design • No anonymous discovery - users must know each other to connect • Messages use pre-set options so conversations stay focused • Report or block anyone from any profile, message thread, or feed • 18+ only; age verified at signup

Safety first • Safety Tips screen available from Profile tab • All reports triaged within 24 hours • No background checks performed. Trust comes from your existing relationships, and you acknowledge this explicitly at signup

SitterMatch is free with no subscriptions or service fees.
