Find a babysitter you can trust

Book ID-verified babysitters and nannies for date nights, school runs, or full-time care. Pay through escrow, only once the day is done.

Childcare & Babysitting

Caring hands for your little ones

The right sitter gives you a few hours back without the worry. Domesty babysitters and nannies are ID-verified and reviewed by other parents, so you're choosing from people who have already earned trust on the platform.

Bookings tend to fall into two groups: occasional cover for an evening out or a meeting, and regular care like school runs, after-school hours, or full-time help through the holidays. Both are quick to post.

Share your children's ages, any routines, and anything a sitter should know, allergies, nap times, house rules, so offers come back from people who fit. It's normal to chat or meet first before you commit.

Every sitter is ID-verified, and you release escrow only once the session is done. Domesty helps you screen and pay safely, and you always stay the one who decides who cares for your child.

  • Occasional and last-minute babysitting
  • Regular after-school pickups and care
  • Full-day and holiday childcare
  • Live-in and live-out nanny placements

What every Domesty booking includes

The same protection on every task, whoever you hire.

  • Your money stays safe

    You pay into secure escrow, not the provider. We release it only when you confirm the job is done, so you're never out of pocket.

  • You know who's coming

    Every provider is ID-verified before they can make an offer, so you're dealing with real, accountable people.

  • Covered if something goes wrong

    Eligible tasks are insured against loss or damage, so an accident never becomes your problem.

  • Post in about a minute

    Describe the job in plain words and Domesty helps sharpen it, so the right providers send offers fast.
