The value on offer is far more than financial. There are some fundamental differences that make finding a great Babysitter MUCH easier, faster, and more enjoyable.

In other words, you should find that BABYSITTERS NOW has raised the bar for Parents seeking Babysitters, Nannies, Au Pairs and Parents Help right across the country.

INTELLIGENCE & INTUITION
You can get all the information in the world - and still not find the right person. When you're looking for a fantastic Babysitter, Parent's Help, Au Pair or Nanny, you also need to use your intuition.

Information is essential for good decision making when it comes to sourcing a Babysitter. This includes obvious things like qualifications, age, gender, location, checks and references.

Intuition is also essential; a deeper knowledge that helps you identify intangible things like "chemistry", character and values.

BABYSITTERS NOW takes the intuitive element seriously, providing many opportunities to "read between the lines". We include things like star-signs which provides space for personality and character to shine through. Even the choice of Avatar gives little hints...

All of this means that deciding on the perfect Babysitter or Nanny is made even easier and more effective, in subtle but powerful ways that are harder to quantify.
