You want a caregiver who understands your child’s needs and provides reliable, compassionate support. We’re here to make that easier.

Balanced Babysitting connects families with carefully vetted sitters and nannies who are equipped to support children with a wide range of needs, bringing both experience and intention to every match.

We know many children thrive with familiarity, predictability, and trusted relationships. That’s why we focus on thoughtful matching and relationship-centered care designed to help families build lasting caregiver connections.

Why families choose

  • Our caregivers have strong backgrounds in childcare, education, behavioral support, and special needs care. We regularly work with children with autism, ADHD, sensory needs, anxiety, and behavioral support needs, and bring that same level of care, patience, and professionalism to every family we serve.

  • Every sitter and nanny completes a thorough screening process, including interviews, reference checks, background screenings, and CPR certification.

  • We take time to understand your routines, goals, and your child’s unique needs so we can recommend caregivers who are the right fit for your family.

  • As a BCBA-led agency, we bring clinical insight and developmental understanding to every match. 

    We are BCBA-informed and parent-directed, meaning we combine professional knowledge with deep respect for each family’s routines, values, and parenting philosophy.

Nanny Placement

Looking for someone consistent you can truly rely on? We recruit, screen, and thoughtfully match professional nannies based on your child’s needs, your schedule, and your home. We’re not just filling a role, we’re finding the right long-term fit.

Balanced Care Subscription

Consistent weekly support from a small team of caregivers who take the time to learn your child’s routines, communication style, and needs. Flexibility without sacrificing familiarity.
