Real Experience
Sitters we know & deeply trust.
Personally Vetted
A small, local, family-run business.
Women-Owned
Every Savvy Sitter is personally vetted and hand-picked by our founders. Background-checked, CPR & First Aid certified, and fully insured — real people from your neighborhood, never a national app.
Not an anonymous roster.
Why families trust us
Savvy Sitter began with a conversation between founders, Lauren and Sarah, about how hard it felt to find a sitter you could really trust. Since then, every sitter on our team has been someone we know personally, or who comes highly recommended.
Started by two friends who wanted better for Boston families.
Our Story
Sitters for every kind of night out:
We've got you covered
Peter and Shelli B., Washington D.C.
My wife, daughter and I spent the weekend in Boston and had the pleasure of having Molly watch our daughter Brady. We cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. Molly took Brady to the park, sent us pictures and stayed in contact with Brady’s over protective parents. Flying back to Boston in December and already have plans to work with the savvy sitter team again. They are so great!
Vicky H., Alexandria, Virginia
I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU to Sarah T. for watching our boys this weekend. They had so much fun with you and are already asking about when you would be watching them again. With all the wedding activities, I was absolutely thrilled with how easy you made it for us each night.
We will definitely be using Savvy Sitter next time we're in Boston and recommending the service (and you!) to all of our friends headed there on vacation!
Leigh Anne P., Boston
We first worked with Lauren back in October, when she watched our four month old daughter. We got to know Lauren a bit last year from living in the same neighborhood, which helped ease our anxiety of hiring a sitter for our first baby. Our experience was wonderful, and since working with Lauren we've also used Sarah and through Savvy Sitter. Lauren and her team are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. It's nice to know we have access to a great group of girls to watch our daughter, especially last minute. We highly recommend them to other families.

Amelia was awesome! She was so at ease and seemed to have a great time with my kids. She is creative and had high energy, which is tough to maintain for a nine hour day!
Thanks again for the great childcare and we look forward to working with Savvy Sitter again in the future.
Kelly M., Newton
We've used several of the savvy sitter's so far and they have been great. They were very warm and friendly, showed up on time, etc. I love the convenience of the service. We frequently decide at kind of the last minute to go out and really appreciate the ease of requesting someone and how quick the response is. We definitely recommend savvy sitter to other families!
Chrissy C., Charlestown
My accolades are limitless for Lauren and her team. The care that Lauren takes with Caroline is remarkable. It is a wonderful feeling to know when Caroline is with Lauren or any member of her team, I am getting the best of the best. Total professionalism. 100%. I can't recommend Savvy Sitter enough!
