What is Sitter on Standby?
Sitter on Standby was created by teachers to utilize qualifications and expertise to provide excellent care for your family.
About Us
My name is Bryena Hood!
I am the owner and founder of Sitter on Standby.
My main career is teaching and I've done so for the last 7 years.
Since I began teaching, I've always found myself putting my expertise to use babysitting and tutoring over the summer and during holiday breaks, as do many others.
The dream of this agency is that it will be a tool to connect our community of experts and other childcare professionals to the incredible families we serve daily!
As wonderful of a career teaching is, which is why teachers do it! There can be financial shortfalls. Many teachers work multiple jobs which is stressful and can be difficult to find reliable employment over the summer or on holidays. With similar schedules as children and a passion for being around children, this is a way to give back to our educators! An opportunity for teachers to earn supplemental income in their area of passion and expertise and a resource for families to ensure their children are in the hands of experts is a win for our community!
What Makes Us Different?
We aim to help match local professionals to families in need of care. Teachers are perfect for the job; being highly qualified and trained in child safety, development, and engagement as well as full background check and fingerprinting.
Imagine if you could hire your child's teacher to babysit...the one who knows them so well, has a strong relationship with you all, and has hundreds of hours of experience and can successfully navigate any situation that may arise....
Well, now you can!
We want to help local families like you and ensure children are in qualified and safe hands while supporting the staff in our community who often seek to find side-jobs.
Our Mission
Children are our top priority. While there can be no 100% guarantee we will find you a sitter, we have a wide network and would love to find the perfect fit for your family as requests come in.
