Profile Badges Are Tools You Can Trust
You're on the search for your new favorite babysitter.
At SitterTree, we know your family has its own unique needs, so we created sitter profile badges to make finding your perfect sitter a cinch.
Profile badges are easily identifiable icons on your babysitter' or nanny's profile. Badges show off a range of key competencies and experience that can help you determine which sitter will be the best fit for your family.
The best part?
Each profile badge represents experience or certification by organizations you know and trust, like the American Red Cross or Ministry Safe.
How to Use Sitter Badges
- Take a look at what each Sitter Badge means below.
- Determine which Sitter Badges are most important to you and your family. (Pro tip: there's no limit!)
- Open the SitterTree app to book a child care provider.
- Keep an eye out for specific Sitter Badges on each provider's profile as you make your selection.
You're one step closer to finding your perfect sitter!
How Sitter Badges Work
- All sitters complete a background check through Checkr before applying to any job on the SItterTree app.
- Some sitters may earn other optional Badges for additional experience and certifications.
- All badges are self-reported and not verified. You should verify experience directly with your sitter.
Sitter Badges give you confidence when booking a qualified sitter. Now, go take that date night!
