You Otter Consider Otter Care I really like Otter. We often ask friends to babysit, but it's nice to have other options and to not overload friends with babysitting requests. Our kids have loved the students who come babysit. It's an easy system to use. I wish it cost less, but that's just the Bay Area deal. I'd recommend anyone to use this service.

Very easy to work with Very easy to work with. System is set up to help you book sitting jobs according to your schedule which makes it easy as a stay at home mom.

We've only had one sitter but so far so… We've only had one sitter but so far so good. This was our first time having a sitter at all. We got our 2yo bathed and into her PJs, then said bye to our sitter (Marleane) and our baby. Our sitter was great at playing with our kid. We didn't prescribe our typical bedtime routine -- instead they played for a while and then somehow our sitter got her to go to bed without crying! After we got home our baby stayed asleep and slept through the night. Total interaction time with the baby wasn't all that long, but it was a pretty excellent experience and we're hoping a few more times will make this an easier thing to do regularly.

Amazing, reliable sitters Otter has been a lifesaver for regular "date nights." We have been amazed at how the service has connected us with really high quality babysitters in the area (most often a student at a nearby university) and love how much time it saves us. Most of all, our kids have loved the sitters we've had! Unlike other sites where one has to send a dozen or more inquiries out, Otter provides vetted, reliable babysitting with one 30-second request.

Highly recommend! The platform is easy to use. The babysitters we have had have been great. Only positive things to share so far!
