Already have a website for your babysitting business? Paste one line of code and your booking page opens right on it - card payments, deposits and all.
Families pick a time you're actually free, the hours and the number of kids set the price, and everything you need to know comes with the booking.
Your own hours and the care you actually offer - no agency, no marketplace cut, no app for parents to install.
Parents pick a start time and how many hours. The rate follows the number of children, and the whole sit is blocked on your calendar.
Every booking asks for the children's names and ages, allergies and an emergency contact - and the family's address.
Hourly sits, a free meet & greet and school pick-ups start filled in.
One rate for one child and another for two or three. Parents pick how many hours and the total updates live.
New families book a 15-minute call first - no address needed - so you can get to know each other.
An add-on for collecting a child from school or an activity, with 30 minutes blocked for the drive.
Overnights, regular weekly care and nanny jobs come in as a request with dates, ages and the kind of care. You reply with a price.
Free nearby, a small fee further out, and drive time that blocks your calendar - set in setup. How it works
Add a 'Book a sitter' button to your own site, Instagram bio or Facebook page.
Families often find sitters through marketplaces like Care.com, Sittercity or UrbanSitter. They're good for being found, but your profile, the messages and the booking all live on their platform.
1MinuteBooking gives you a booking page of your own. Parents book a free meet & greet call, an hourly sit priced by how many kids, and a school pick-up if they need one. Overnights, regular weekly care and nanny jobs come in as quote requests, and you reply with your price. Allergies, bedtimes and an emergency contact come with every booking, and regulars are rebooked with Duplicate booking.
Keep your marketplace profile if it brings you families - and send them, and every family who already knows you, to your own page to book. It's free, with no time limit.
Your booking page, bookings and quote requests.
Your logo, photos and colors, Excel export and analytics, and no "Powered by" badge.
Marketplaces like Care.com and UrbanSitter help families find you. To take bookings from families who already know you, a booking page of your own is simpler - 1MinuteBooking does that for free, with hourly rates, a free meet & greet and quote requests.
Yes. 1MinuteBooking's free plan has no time limit and includes hourly sits, add-ons, quote requests and address collection. Pro ($10 USD a month) adds your logo, photos and colors.
The Babysitter / Nanny preset starts with hourly sits for one child ($22 an hour) and for two or three children ($27 an hour). Parents pick a start time and how many hours - 2 at least, 12 at most - and the whole sit is blocked on your calendar. Change the rates, the minimum and the maximum in Settings > Service types.
Yes - with quote requests. Parents give the dates and times, the children's ages and the kind of care (overnight, after school, regular weekly, nanny), and you reply with a price. No time slot is held until you do.
Yes. The Free Meet & Greet Call (15 minutes) is first on the list and doesn't ask for an address. Rename it if you'd rather meet in person, or untick it in setup.
Yes - every booking asks for the children's first names and ages, any allergies, medical needs or bedtime routine, and an emergency contact while the parents are out. Edit the questions in Settings > Booking form.
Yes - with location options. The Babysitter / Nanny preset starts with "At your home - within 10 miles (15 km) of us" (no charge), "At your home - 10-20 miles (15-30 km) away" (+$10) and "At your home - more than 20 miles (30 km) away, we confirm first" (+$20). Change the fees and drive times right in setup, or later under Settings > Locations. The free meet & greet call doesn't ask. The drive time blocks your calendar but is never shown to the client.
Sign up here and Babysitter / Nanny is already picked when you set up your page. You can change anything later.
