Frequently Asked Questions

Sport Sitters® is a booking platform connecting Division 1 female student-athletes who babysit with families who desire childcare that emphasizes physical activity over screen time.

Our athletes represent women’s beach volleyball, court volleyball, cross country, gymnastics, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, triathlon and more.

Sport Sitters® operates as a closed network. To access its features, families and athletes must complete the full registration process and pass a comprehensive check for approval.

Our messaging and call service within the app allows families and athletes to easily communicate. Maintaining all communication within the app facilitates the documentation and oversight of interactions, which is crucial for safety of both parties, payments, and resolving any disputes or concerns that may arise or other terms of business.

All bookings require a minimum of 3 hours.

You will receive a push notification as soon as an athlete accepts your job. You can tap their profile to see details about them, including their school, team, and athletic achievements to share with your children before their arrival.

Credit card information saved in your profile is required to book a job. Payment is processed when your athlete checks-out. Payments for services rendered are processed by a third-party service and a processing fee is applied to all transactions. Upon completion of a job, Sport Sitters distributes payments as follows: a portion is given to the athlete who completed the job, a portion is allocated to their team fund, and a booking fee is paid to Sport Sitters.

Our pricing is structured as follows for 1-3 children: $20 per hour for your athlete and $2 per hour for your athlete's team. A booking fee and payment processing fee are applied to each job. 

Jobs with four or more than four children require special approval. Please email support@sportsitters.pro.

Please book your athlete for the latest time you may come home so the athlete paired with your booking will be available for the complete possible duration. You will only be charged for the actual time away.

You only pay for the time you are away, prorated to the exact minute after meeting the required 3 hour minimum.

We understand that life happens! If you need to cancel, we kindly ask for as much notice as possible. Cancellations made between 12 and 72 hours in advance will have a 1.5-hour charge. For cancellations made less than 12 hours before the appointment, a 3-hour charge will apply. 

When booking a job you will be prompted to select the children that will be present saved in your profile.

Nearly all female sports teams are non-revenue and face severe underfunding. Every hour an athlete works generates revenue for their team through a Team Fee. It's a tangible way for the community to support women’s collegiate teams as every dollar counts.

Athletes who are found breaking terms of service, including booking babysitting jobs outside of the app, will be permanently removed from the platform. Families are prohibited from soliciting, requesting, or pressuring athletes to break terms of service, including the exchange of personal contact details, in any way or will be removed from the platform.

You must be a D1 female student-athlete, US citizen and in good standing with your University or College and in the community. Download the app and complete the initial sign-in registration. Once submitted, your registration will be reviewed within 24 hours.
