Babysitting done right.

Whether you’re a New Yorker or you’re visiting, you know that all forms of childcare are necessary - and it’s never more obvious than when your regular childcare option isn’t available.

Always On meets your childcare needs for:

Emergency Backup Care

We’re here when your regular childcare is unexpectedly unavailable.

Date Nights & Weekends

Even the most devoted parents deserve some time off.

Flexible or Short-Term

If your schedule is shifting seasonally, or you’re looking for a morning shift or a few afternoons per week, we’ve got you.

Our trusted, talented, fully screened childcare professionals have the skills to hit the ground running. Thinking about payroll? Simplify the entire process and let us manage employment details and costs on your behalf. Registered families can easily submit requests and secure their favorite SmartSitters via direct personal curation from a Family Specialist or DIY via the members site.
