Intake Form

We ask that parents and babysitters fill out this form together before the first babysitting appointment.

Babysits is a supply and demand platform. We facilitate parents in finding a babysitter and babysitters in finding a babysitting job. This means that community members are ultimately responsible for screening, interviewing, and making their choice.
