Backup Babysitter for Sick Care – Short Notice / Weekdays

Posted by Diana C. on 10/13/2026

  • 2 children (Toddler, Preschool)
  • $25.00 - $30.00 per hour

We’re looking for a warm, reliable babysitter to become our go-to for occasional backup/sick care when our kids need to stay home from daycare or preschool.

Our son is 1 and daughter is 3. Most days would involve caring for just one child, occasionally both. We’re looking for someone comfortable caring for common childhood illnesses (colds, fever, stomach bugs/vomiting, etc.) and providing plenty of comfort, supervision, rest and age-appropriate play.

Care is typically on weekdays during work hours, sometimes with 1 days’ notice. One or both parents may be working from home or at the office. A great fit could also lead to other babysitting opportunities with our family!
