why zyttle

Built for sitters who
take it seriously.

The families you find here are looking for someone they can trust and rebook — not a one-time hire.

📍

Neighborhood matching

Families see sitters from their actual neighborhood. That means you're not competing with the entire city — you're the local expert.

🛡️

Verified profile that sells itself

Every adult sitter is identity-, phone-, and registry-verified before going live — parents see all three on your profile. Add an optional Checkr badge for an extra edge.

🔁

Rebook-friendly platform

Parents can rebook you in two taps. The families you impress become regulars — and regulars mean predictable income.

💬

Direct messaging before booking

Chat with families through the app before committing. You can get to know them — and choose the bookings that work for you.

⭐

Reviews that follow you

Every booking adds to your public rating. A strong profile keeps growing — your reputation is your best marketing.

💳

Secure payments every time

No chasing families for payment. Stripe handles every transaction and funds arrive in your account after each booking.

Your neighborhood
needs a great sitter.

Join zyttle and get access to families in your neighborhood looking for trusted, reliable sitters.

Sitter questions

Things sitters
ask us most.

Payments are processed securely after each completed booking. Funds typically arrive in your bank account or debit card within a few business days after the session. You'll need a bank account or debit card to receive payments — if you're a teen without one yet, a parent or guardian can help set that up.
Yes. You accept or decline every booking request. You can also indicate if you'd prefer not to work with a specific family again — they won't see you in their search results going forward, and there's no awkward conversation required.
After you create your profile, your parent or guardian receives a link to review it. They create their own verified account, look over your full profile, and then approve it. Once they approve, your profile goes live and families can start finding you. The whole process usually takes less than 10 minutes.
No. zyttle is flexible — you set your own availability and accept only the bookings that work for you. There's no quota, no minimum hours, and no penalty for turning down a request.
You get paid for your time. zyttle has a flexible cancellation policy with different terms depending on how close to the booking a parent cancels — if they cancel inside the late-cancel window, you receive a cancellation payout automatically, no chasing required. The full details are in our Terms of Service.
Every adult sitter on zyttle goes through identity verification, phone verification, and sex offender registry screening before going live — those are mandatory. A criminal background check through Checkr is optional. If you choose to complete one, you pay Checkr directly (around $29.99) and we add a "Background Checked" badge to your profile. Parents can filter their search to only show background-checked sitters, so the badge can help you get more bookings. Read more on our safety page.
Yes. During profile setup you can indicate that you offer homework help alongside babysitting. Families can filter for this when searching — so it can help you get more bookings if it's something you're good at.
