As parents, we all could use a break. We spend most of our time caring for our kids and ensuring we do everything possible so they can thrive. With so much of our brain capacity going toward their well-being, one of the best things we can do is take a night to shut it down and enjoy ourselves. Not only does this let us prioritize ourselves for once, but it also ensures we’re protecting ourselves from burnout. If you could use a night to yourself, I would love to tell you about two of my favorite companies around St. Louis for babysitters. With these places, I always know I have childcare I can trust when I need to take some time off.
STL Sitter came to fruition in 2015 when Morgan Clark noticed there weren’t many local, reliable options for parents needing childcare. She went to work creating a team of childcare experts who would provide quality care for busy families. Since then, the team has helped over 1,000 families find a sitter. Morgan continues to work tirelessly to create technology that makes it easier for parents to connect to the assistance they need.
STL Sitter works through an easy membership plan. You’ll register your family and specify what kind of care you need. All the sitters at the company have gone through extensive screenings and have completed face-to-face interviews. You can choose casual or consistent care for your child. STL Sitter uses a set rate and lets you pay through options including Venmo and PayPal.
Since 1985, TLC Family Care has been devoted to giving a break to stressed-out families nationwide. The company was co-founded by a St. Louis local and has spent over 30 years building up the trust of families across the city. In 2022, the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies even recognized them as the Agency of the Year.
TLC Family Care provides babysitters, nannies, newborn care, house sitters, and more. All the sitters have been screened, so you can be sure you’re getting the best candidates. Their babysitters are available around the clock and can provide short-term, long-term, and ongoing care. Their staffing specialists focus on giving you personalized service so they can be sure you’re getting the right person for your family’s needs.
Scheduling some time for yourself is an absolute necessity in parenthood. With these St. Louis babysitters, you can feel confident your child is getting the care they deserve so you can relax.
