Trusted, Reliable Childcare from
Local Students
Finding a responsible, dependable babysitter can be a challenge. Student Sitters connects you with trained and trustworthy student caregivers in your area. All Student Sitters are graduates of our Babysitter Boot Camp Training (which includes: infant care/safe sleep, age-appropriate activities, introductory first-aid/CPR, child care responsibilities, in-home etiquette, etc.).
Sitters also participate in our mentoring program and monthly meet-ups. Each Student Sitter goes through a very intentional onboarding process which includes the initial sign-up, interview, reference checks and training to ensure they are ready and equipped to care for children.
By hiring a Student Sitter, you’re not only getting peace of mind but also supporting young entrepreneurs as they develop essential life skills and work experience.
Free Baby Sitting for
Foster Families
At Student Sitters, we know babysitting can be hard. Parenting is even harder. But fostering—that takes something truly special.
To support and give back to foster families in our community, we created the Student Sitters Apprenticeship Program (SSAP). Through this program, we offer free babysitting services to foster families in the Wichita area, partnering with the Foster Friendly app to connect and coordinate care more easily. Girls who complete 50 hours of training and free babysitting receive startup capital to launch their own babysitting business and gain ongoing support as part of the Student Sitters program.
SSAP is about more than babysitting—it's about building confidence, developing responsibility, and being a light to families who need it most.
