MeetSitters

For families with student sitters

Post the hours. Sitters raise a hand. You pick.

MeetSitters keeps your crew of college sitters scheduled, confirmed, and covered. Text them one link: no app to install, no passwords, no group-chat chaos.

Free for sitters, always.

How it works

  1. 1

    Post the hours

    Add a shift in seconds, or set up a standing schedule from a template, like a nanny week or after-school pickups.

  2. 2

    Text the link

    Send one link from your own phone to your sitters' group chat. It shows the day, time, kids' ages, and pay right in the preview.

  3. 3

    Pick who sits

    Sitters tap “I can do it.” You see everyone who offered, in order, with their rates. Book anyone with one tap.

Nobody falls through the cracks

Cancellations are where scheduling usually breaks. MeetSitters keeps the original sitter on the shift until a replacement is set, and tells you early when something needs you.

Built for college schedules

Semester availability, finals weeks, and trips home. Sitters update it once and every family sees it.

Swaps and covers, handled

Sitters can swap with someone on your roster automatically, or send a one-time link to a friend that you approve.

Reminders that confirm

A confirm request the day before, a nudge if it goes unanswered, and a heads-up to you if it's still quiet.

No double-booking

Sitters who work for several families can't be booked in two places at once. The calendar won't allow it.

Private by default

The address and door codes go only to the booked sitter, only near shift time. Shared links never show either.

One calendar for everyone

Parents see the whole week at a glance. Shifts land in each sitter's own Google or Apple Calendar automatically.

For sitters: all your families, one calendar

Every family's shifts in one place, your pay rate on your profile, reminders before every shift, and no double-booking. Can't make it? Swap with another sitter or send a friend a cover link in two taps.

  • Tap a link, offer in one tap. No app download, no password.
  • Set your hourly rate once. Families see it before they pick.
  • Mark finals weeks and trips home so you only hear about shifts you can take.
  • Booked shifts show up in your own calendar app.

Reminders by email, push, and text

Booking confirmations, reminders, schedule changes, and cover requests arrive by email and push notification. Text alerts are optional.

Text alerts are opt-in

Turn on “Text me about shifts” in your MeetSitters settings and confirm your phone number to get MeetSitters shift alerts by text. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Your number is never shared for marketing.
