Frequently Asked Questions

We have sitters experienced in every age! From newborn to those mini-adults in Middle School and high school, we will find you a sitter perfect for you! 

We provide both! Our sitters are looking for everything from in-between income for those random needs here and there to full time hours! Since all of our sitters are artists pursuing a career in the arts, the good news is that if they ever have an audition/conflict come up, our entire family of vetted, artistic sitters are there to support you and make sure you have the care you need! Click Here for more information about our Long Term Sitters and Bookings.

If you are looking for a sitter less than 36 hours before, you can request a sitter by going to “Book a Broadway Babysitter”, entering the date and time and information and selecting your ideal sitter. If the sitter’s availability has changed and they are no longer available, although a sub is not guaranteed for last minute requests we will do everything we can do to find someone for you! For requests under 8 hours before, feel free to reach out by email! 

Sitters are currently bookable in NYC and Chicago.

In NYC, our sitters can provide care in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Lower Westchester and Public Transportation accessible parts of New Jersey.

In Chicago, our sitters can provide care to any areas that are accessible by the CTA (L-Train and CTA Buses).

If you are interested in booking our sitters but live outside of these areas or are not sure if we would be a good fit, feel free to reach out and we would be happy to help.

Privacy and personalized care are both a part of making you feel both safe and taken care of! Your profile helps our administrative team get to know you so if there is anything we can help with, we have all the information at our fingertips. It stays private (no families or sitters can see it) until you book a sitter! Our unique system allows you to save all the important information about each child to your profile. Tell us any details your sitters should know to keep them safe. You can even add your kids’ passions so your sitters can get started on the fun the moment they arrive! Once a sitter has confirmed your booking, they will gain access to your profile to provide the best, most personalized care possible and 48 hours before the booking they will be able to see your contact information. 

Absolutely! Our sitters love bringing their love of creativity and art into everything they do, and providing lessons gives them a tangible way to share this passion! This can be anything from a voice lesson, dance lesson or acting lesson to piano, yoga, audition technique and MORE! You can request a lesson as an add-on to babysitting or as a Virtual Lesson on its own! 

Yes absolutely! As much as we would love for you to become a member of our family, we of course understand that it may not fit your needs just yet. Get started to book your Broadway Babysitter without a membership by clicking HERE. 

The imagination, creativity, fun and PIZAZZ of Broadway are absolutely a part of what makes our sitters so wonderful! They are artists and creatives of all different experience levels, from those just starting their career, to veterans of their craft and everything in between! You may meet a past Broadway Jasmine or a future Broadway Jasmine and all of them have the talent and love of art that makes theatre so amazing! 

Our sitters are designers, actors, writers, stage managers, directors, and MORE. We believe the open hearts and imaginative kindness of artists are what make them such wonderful sitters! They don’t just sit your child in front of the TV – they CREATE a TV show or musical right in your living room! 

If you’ve decided we’re a good fit for your ongoing needs (Whether it’s date-nights, full time care or anything in between) we would love to have you as a member of our family. Being a member gives you discounted hourly rates, discount virtual lesson rates, ability to browse all sitter profiles, and priority access to subs and long term sitters.  Click Here For more about our memberships and rates

We’re so glad you asked! All of our sitters are people we know, or who have been referred to us by people we know. You may have noticed there is no place to ‘apply’ to be a Broadway Babysitter, and that’s by choice! Safety and Dependability are of utmost importance to us and accepting applications through a referral system allows us to keep our Broadway Babysitters family just that — a family. From there, we interview them, check references and background check them. After that, if we feel they would be a good fit to join our family as a babysitter, our team ensures they are CPR Certified and Special Needs trained and gets them set up so that by the time you are booking them, you can feel confident they are a safe, wonderful fit for you!
