Care you can count on, whenever you need it.
Finding a sitter shouldn’t feel like a gamble.
Summerville Sitters connects families across the CSRA with dependable, pre-screened sitters who show up on time, communicate clearly, and take their responsibility seriously.
Whether you’re planning ahead or need help on short notice, we make it easier to find care you actually feel good about, without starting from scratch every time.
What Families Told Us They Need (and What We’re Building)
Designed for families. Built by friends.
Everything we’re building is shaped by what local parents actually asked for.
When we started talking with families across the CSRA, the message was consistent: finding a sitter isn’t just about filling a spot on the calendar; it’s about trust.
Parents told us they want to feel confident in the person walking through their door. They want sitters who are reliable, prepared, and communicative. They want consistency, not a revolving door of strangers. And they want a process that feels thoughtful, not rushed or transactional.
That feedback is shaping how Summerville Sitters is being built.
Instead of pulling from a massive, impersonal database, we’re intentionally growing a local community of sitters who are:
Vetted and trusted
Sitters complete an application and interview, provide references, undergo background checks, and meet required certification standards before being matched with families.
Thoughtfully matched
We take time to learn about your family’s routines, needs, and preferences, so you’re not starting from scratch each time you book care.
Reliable and prepared
Clear communication, shared expectations, and support on both sides mean fewer surprises, and more peace of mind.
We’re building this network slowly and intentionally, starting with founding families who value trust, reliability, and genuine connection.
How It Works
1. Tell us about your family
Complete a short interest form so we can learn about your children, schedule, preferences, and the kind of support you’re looking for.
2. Thoughtful matching
We connect you with sitters who align with your family’s needs, not just whoever is available.
3. Book with confidence
Once you’re a member, you’ll have access to trusted sitters without starting from scratch every time.

Ready to get started?
Finding the right care starts with getting to know each other.
We’re opening Summerville Sitters to a small group of founding families who value trust, reliability, and clear communication. If that sounds like you, we’d love to learn more about your family and what you’re looking for in a sitter.
The first step is a short interest form; no commitment, just a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.
We review each submission personally and will follow up with next steps.
