We're more than just another childcare matching service — Carilly creates community.
We personally meet with every qualified sitter to talk about your experiences, what makes you special, and what you're looking for in an ideal family. Join our community of sitters and meet new people, help families in need, and build bonds with other providers just like you.
You decide when you're available — accept the bookings that work for your life.
Get paid weekly, direct to your bank — no chasing families, no waiting on cash.
Competitive hourly rates that reflect your experience, certifications, and family size.
If a family cancels last-minute, you still get paid. Your time matters to us.
Two ideas at the heart of how we work with every sitter — community first, simplicity second.
It all starts with the application. When you're ready, apply to become a babysitter. Once we've reviewed your application, we'll schedule a time to personally meet you. You'll be working with local families before you know it, plus have the opportunity to attend babysitter-only events and meet others on your team.
Booking is easy! Families can schedule a date and time right from our app and get matched with an available babysitter. You'll get a notification and can accept or decline the appointment. If a family cancels, you'll still get paid. Our Carilly team is available to address any questions you may have.
Fill out a short application — takes about 5 minutes from your phone.
National and county-level screening — required, no charge to you.
Meet your local market operator in person to talk through your style and goals.
You're live in the app — accept your first booking and meet your first family.
Most applications are reviewed within 48 hours. We'd love to meet you.
