Personal Interview

Every caregiver meets personally with our team, giving us the opportunity to look beyond the application and learn about their experience, personality, and heart for caring for children.

Founded in 2018, Southern Sitters was created with a simple belief: families deserve childcare they can feel confident about—and finding it shouldn’t feel overwhelming.

Led by our founder, a female firefighter and paramedic, safety and service are deeply woven into who we are. Our team takes a personal approach to childcare, from getting to know the caregivers who join our network to being there when families need extra support.

Today, Southern Sitters is trusted by thousands of families in the Southeastern US and has coordinated more than 75,000 childcare bookings—but we still believe the little things matter. A familiar face. A responsive team. A caregiver who genuinely loves children. And knowing there are real people behind your childcare experience.

More than childcare. A team your family can turn to.
