Make the most of your stay

Since 1967, Sitters has been providing experienced babysitters to parents on holiday across the UK - from grand city hotels to B&Bs tucked away in the hills.

Whether you want to indulge in a spa treatment, evening dinner or simply enjoy some well-deserved child-free time, we can deliver award-winning childcare to your hotel room door.

And if you have a wedding or celebration, we can provide daytime babysitters to look after your little ones while you relax and enjoy the day.

Families love Sitters babysitting

"Denise came to look after my 10 month old son two nights in a row at a hotel whilst we were at a family wedding. She was absolutely fantastic, a natural with children and I could tell straight away that our son was in safe hands. Denise sent me updates to let me know he had gone to sleep on time so I could totally relax. A massive thank you from us!"

Mrs Woodhall, London

"We've been on holiday in the UK for a month and have been so impressed by each and every sitter. We had heard fantastic recommendations and we weren't disappointed. Thank you for making it possible for us to have some grown up time while on holiday!"

Mrs Kretschmer, Australia

"Very positive first experience of Sitters. Used the wonderful Alison whilst away at a wedding. The children loved her. I've never had anyone I don't know look after my 2 & 4 year old children & Alison made everything look easy. She even managed to brush the 2 year olds teeth who normally runs a mile for us!"

Mrs Lyons-White, London

Some of our brilliant childcarers

"Adrash stood in for my nanny and needed no guidance. She's clearly incredibly experienced with children. Very warm and loving - perfect for a baby. I would use her forever if I could - a Godsend!"

"Andrea was full of energy and enthusiasm. Lovely and friendly yet confident. Totally unflappable. My seven year old daughter warmed to her immediately. That is the best test of all."

"Sue was an instant hit with my 3 year old who is usually very clingy with me. This morning the first thing he asked was "Where's Sue?" I would definitely recommend Sue and use her services again."
