Safety first
Every sitter is reviewed before they list.
We don't let just anyone on the platform. Every sitter is background-checked, their certifications are verified, and their profile is manually reviewed by our team before going live.
Background checked
Every sitter goes through a comprehensive background check before appearing on the platform. No exceptions.
Manually reviewed & approved
Profiles, certifications, and posted listings are reviewed by our team before going live. We don't publish everyone who applies.
Verified credentials
Certifications like RBT, CPR, and special education credentials are reviewed and verified before being displayed on a profile.
Important: All bookings and payments must be completed through Safe Space Connect. Arrangements made outside the platform are not covered by our safety policies.
Stories
Real families. Real understanding.
“Easily one of the best new resources my family has benefited from this year. With multiple Autistic children, reliable childcare is so hard to find, but every sitter has been reliable, experienced, and beyond adequately trained. My children love their new “friends,” and I finally have the support to recharge.”
