The Babysitting Company

Found this company last minute on a trip to Miami with my wife. They were professional and Timely. The came to the hotel and were prepared to stay as late as we needed them too. Highly recommend

The Babysitting Company was amazing. We used them in North Miami. We had the same babysitter come. Her name was Dominque D. She was ALWAYS on time. I have 2 boys, ages 4.5 and 2.5 each night she came with trucks, cars, books, games, and play dough. She played with the boys and did all types of activities. When we go back to Miami I 100% plan on using the Babysitting Company.

I recently had to travel to Miami for work and decided to bring the family along and extend the vacation. My husband and I were attending an event and needed a sitter to come to our hotel for the evening. Although my children (8 and 2 years old) have had sitters before, typically they’ve been either family or people they know. I came across the Babysitting Company on Unilocal and found out they were commonly used at the hotel we were staying at (Fontainebleau).I reached out to get additional details and ended up speaking with Rachel (the owner). Rachel was extremely helpful and provided me with all of the information I needed (including bio /​background of the sitter). I booked the sitter about 1-​week in advance of my trip and received a confirmation email with all the details. The day before I arrived in Miami, I found out that there was an additional evening event that I needed to attend. I contacted Rachel and fortunately, she was able to secure the same sitter for both nights without a problem.
Our sitter, Carolina, arrived right on time with a bag full of games/​activities. She immediately came in and made herself comfortable with the kids. We hired her to come in 45 mins before we needed to leave, so the kids could get comfortable. Honestly, that wasn’t even necessary. Within 15 mins my oldest was completely comfortable and that helped the 2-​year old realize everything was «ok». We got back to the room 5 hours later and both kids were completely knocked out. The next day Carolina came back (right on time) and provided the same high level of care. At the end of each night, Carolina left a brief overview of how the night was, as well as the hours she worked. The Babysitting Company processed my card on the back end, so there was no exchange or anything to sign off on at the end of the night.
Overall I had a great experience. I definitely plan to use the Babysitting Company again when traveling with the kiddies!

Cecilia is the best!

We hired last minute through a referral from a friend. My sister was visiting from out of town with a 2 yo and 4 yo. We wanted to have an «adult» night without the kids and called a few hours before. It was a very easy process and the babysitter, Cecilia, was great. We arrived home four hours later not knowing whether there were any meltdowns and found that the kids were sound asleep. Such a relief and we’ll worth the money to have a night out. I understand this company is national so plan to use again when visiting major cities while in hotels.

Outstanding service; warm and friendly sitters: well run and efficient.

TBC provided sitters at my wedding and they were so fantastic. It was such a relief to know the children were taken care of so the adults could enjoy themselves. The sitters were on time, energetic and brought great activities. I can’t wait to use them again for my next event.

Rachel and the entire Babysitting Company team have been helping our family for over 2 years now and we have always had a great experience! Their team of sitters are all amazing, prompt, respectful and so helpful with our 2 small girls. We often have to request last minute services to fill in when our nanny calls in sick and we’ve always been covered, no questions asked. I recommend Rachel to all my mommy friends and to the entire Unilocal community!

We could not have been happier with Lauren, Nicole, or Mary — We’ve had three different sitters over the past year and a half or so and they’ve ALL been fabulous! The services rendered by The Babysitting Company put our minds at ease while my Husband and I were able to get out an actually enjoy this beautiful city that we live in together!
It was so nice to finally be able to have a sitter that I could feel comfortable with right away. Being able to read their bio before hand and know that there was a background check performed is so comforting. Since our son was born we’ve had maybe two sitters because they would call out, not show up for the job, or not be able to communicate with us. Being able to contact The Babysitting Company and know we will be able to have an honest, professional, and reliable person care for our child while we are not home is priceless!

I found The Babysitting Company by doing a search on, what else, Unilocal!My husband and I were headed to Miami with our 14-​month-​old for the Orange Bowl, and needed someone to watch him for (yikes) 12 HOURS. No way were we taking him to a game starting at 8:30 pm!
Anyway, after doing some additional research and speaking with the gracious owner, Rachel, I felt very comfortable with the service. Rachel was very professional, forwarding me a bio of our sitter right after booking with her. My sitter, Paloma, was so sweet and very experienced. I had no doubts leaving my little one in her capable and caring hands.
We checked in with Paloma a couple of times that day, and there were no problems whatsoever. She even somehow managed to get our son to nap in his crib that afternoon, which we never managed to accomplish ourselves in the hotel room during our 5-​day stay!
If I had any gripe whatsoever, it would be that the prices are really high based on my experience with other similar services in Maui, Manhattan and my hometown of San Francisco. I wouldn’t expect Miami to cost more than all of these places, and I wonder if that’s part of why they do not list their rates on their website! That said, I was so happy and comfortable with the service, it is hard for me to ding them for cost. I was willing to pay just about anything for peace of mind while my husband and I enjoyed our day!

I had my regular babysitter cancel on me at the very last minute, and on A saturday night too!!! I called The Babysitting Company crossing my fingers I never expected to have someone at my house 30 minutes later. Not only was she fantastic with my daughter, she was smart, engaging and my kids were asking the next morning when she could come back to play. I couldn’t recommend the company more!!!

I have used the babysitting company many times, they have always gotten a sitter for me even in a pinch, the babysitters are always on time and always professional, and the kids always love the sitters (oh yeah and they prices are very reasonable). It makes me feel better knowing that all the sitters have all been personally vetted, had background checks and been drug tested. I highly recommend anyone to use them.
