Baby Sitter Help




You have a date night scheduled and no babysitter. Where do you turn? There are some terrific options only a website, text, or Facebook page away.

Nannies as Needed specializes in emergency babysitters (they can get you a sitter in an hour), but also options for long-term help.

A California-based, family-run business, wondersitter.com now has a Fairfield branch run by Westport mom Stephanie Buchalter. Buchalter says she meets every sitter personally to vet them.

There’s also a University Sitters Facebook group you can join to tap into the childcare talent at our local universities.
