Sitters by Sitters was created with the intention of building a childcare referral network in the Northern suburbs of Chicago in which both the families and caregivers feel connected, and know their value. We believe that children should engage in hands-on play with caregivers, and trusting bonds should be formed between the families and caregivers. We pride ourselves in finding the best babysitters who can best fulfill all these requirements, and many more! Our sitters are always required to carry identification to your initial interview for your peace of mind. SBS was created lovingly by residents of Highland Park, who understand the many needs of families in surrounding areas. We also provide social media accounts which showcase examples of activities that are worked on with our staff, as well as various posts about family friendly locations and events around the North Shore. We significantly value each sitter and family that we work with, and are committed to helping families and caregivers connect.
