Why work with a babysitter agency?
It's easier, safer, with less BSYep, it costs more than doing it yourself.
But what does your time cost? What does your safety cost?
Families, you pay placement fees and sitters, you pay a small membership fee because Chicago Super Sitters works for you. We do the posting, the interviews, the phone calls, the scheduling, the rescheduling, the background checks, the cancellations, the ‘but are they vaccinated?’ and the ‘but what about my cat allergy?’.
We also make sure they (sitters and families) are who they say they are.
Chicago Super Sitters does the work and the safety checks.

Sitters, an agency should make you feel respected and appreciated.
We know what makes a babysitter great and what makes a great babysitter happy. Not only do we know how everything works, we know how hard the job can be. We expect a lot from our sitters, and that’s why we’ve got your back. Our flat monthly membership fee is the cost of just one hour of work at $20/month. It’s meant to keep us hustling for you, and doesn’t change no matter how many hours you work.
Freelance babysitting can be tough. The constant messaging, the cancellations, the awkward money conversations, the last minute changes, the surprises, and not being given all the info you need to do your best job.
Super sitters handles all of this for you.

Families, an agency should make you feel comforted and supported.
We know that hiring someone to work with your kid(s) in your home is a very big deal. We will listen to you, answer your questions, share best-practices, and set you up for success with any new sitter. We are asking you to trust us, so we work to earn it.
The childcare search can be tough, especially for part-time/occasional bookings. The searching, the ghosting, the last minute changes, and ‘holy swearword you’re cancelling the morning-of?’.
