Backup care, done right
Trusted coverage, when your plans change.
Backup care isn't about replacing your regular childcare. It's about having something solid to fall back on when life doesn't cooperate. Our local sitters are the same caliber of professional we place in every Summit service — vetted to the same standard, ready to show up on short notice.
How It Works
Simple from start to finish.
Submit your booking request
Share your dates, accommodation, and a little about your children. The more we know upfront, the better your match.
We find your match
We identify the best available sitter for your family and confirm your booking. If your sitter ever gets sick, we arrange a backup.
Receive your confirmation
You'll receive your sitter's full profile and contact information by email. Whenever possible, we send the same sitter for repeat visits.
Your sitter arrives
Your sitter arrives promptly, ready to go. At the end of your booking they collect payment directly.
