A Recurring or Long-Term Booking, is when you are looking to schedule the same days and times each with the same sitter or team of sitters. Need some help picking Emma and Junior up from school and bringing them home to start homework every Monday – Friday 3 – 7pm? We’ve got you covered!
Part of what makes our Broadway Babysitters so wonderful is that as artists and actors they are fun, entertaining, and ENGAGING to your kids. Our sitters don’t sit them in front of the TV — they WRITE and PERFORM a TV Show with your kids by the time you get home!
However, being an artist can also lead to an unpredictable schedule with auditions and callbacks, so we love to put together a team of sitters who share the days! For example, one sitter takes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the other takes Tuesday and Thursday! This way, your kids feel comfortable with sitters they recognize, and the sitters can help cover for each other if an audition comes up!
The good news is also that if for any reason all sitters on your team are not available to cover a day, we still have a WONDERFUL Team of Sitters who are right there to help out, so you are never left without someone to care for your kids!
If you decide it’s a great fit, booking them is as easy as continuing your membership (or Changing to a different one) we will add them to your account as a recurring sitter, and you’ll be able to book them using our Recurring Booking System.

We take care of all the payments from you and to the sitter, and after booking them you’ll be set to go! See the Step by Step on How to Book a Recurring Booking for More information!

Ending Long Term Sitter Needs
After booking with your sitter long term, if you find yourself without the same hours or needs, we recommend giving your sitter(s) a 2 week warning to ensure they have time to find another source of income/another family to fill the change. This helps make sure that not only are the sitters supported to pay their bills, but also that they can give you all the commitment and support YOU need to have reliable and consistent care.
Consistent Care Request Fee (Refunds and Credits)
Consistent Care Requests are $10 (+ processing fee) which help us take the time and care to work on searching for the sitter or sitter team that’s right for you. If we search for a sitter / sitter team and at the time of your request a sitter is not available for your needs you can choose a $10 credit (which can be used toward a membership or booking) or a $5 refund back to the card used for payment.
Please note, if a sitter or sitter team is found and available for your needs and you choose to go another direction or avenue for your care needs outside of Broadway Babysitters, there is no refund or credit for the Request Fee.
