“My vision for SITTERNEEDED™ started when I was a nursing student. Now as a mom, I know that families need trusted childcare and it’s not always simple to find. As an experienced nursing professional, I’m proud that the core of nursing is the desire to provide exceptional, personalized care. I’m excited to now bring families and nursing students together to create what I believe will be the most trusted childcare option available.”

Q1. In what areas does SITTERNEEDED™ provide service?
Our initial service area is planned for a 50-mile radius from the center of Dallas. We are excited to offer services to all of the cities in this area. We will continually expand our service area as we hire and train additional sitters from local nursing schools.
Q2. What type of screening is completed for the sitters?
All of our sitters must be a current nursing student in good standing at their respective university/college. It is a condition of nursing programs that all students obtain the following prior to beginning nursing courses: background check, drug screening, CPR certification and ensure immunizations are up to date. It is this commitment to their professional training and to the community at large that sets nursing students apart as a premier choice in on-demand childcare.

We are pleased to offer a professional and trusted solution for childcare by both employing nursing students and providing professional mentorship and training. As a result, we will offer competitive pay to our sitters; however, we aim to balance that cost with your family's need for affordable child care. We will publish all costs on our website and literature as soon as possible prior to fully launching our services. To begin a care relationship with SITTERNEEDED™, you will first select a membership option that best meets your family's childcare needs.
