Terms & Conditions
Last updated: September 28, 2026
The short version: BébéSitter coordinates care between you and the sitters you trust. Here's the agreement that covers it.
About these terms
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the BébéSitter app and website (the "Service"), operated by BebeSitter LLC, a New York limited liability company ("BébéSitter," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
What BébéSitter is
BébéSitter is a personal coordination tool for families and the babysitters they trust. It lets you add sitters you already know and send them a booking request by text message. When a sitter accepts, the request is confirmed. If you choose, it also lets you join a small, private village of families you know, and make or receive introductions through people you know. BébéSitter is not a marketplace, a staffing agency, or an employer. It does not screen, vet, employ, or recommend sitters, and it never shares anyone's details without their agreement.
Who can use it
You must be at least 18 years old and a parent, guardian, or caregiver to create an account. You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for the activity that happens under it. Sitters use the Service by text message after enrolling themselves on our enrollment page.
Adding sitters and consent
You add sitters using contact information you already have. By adding a sitter, you confirm that you have a genuine relationship with that person and a reasonable basis to contact them about babysitting. BébéSitter does not text a sitter you add. Instead, the app opens your own messaging app with an invitation that you send from your own phone. That invitation contains a link to our enrollment page at bebesitter.com/sitter, where the sitter enters their own mobile number and checks an unchecked consent box. Only after they complete that form does BébéSitter send them any message. They can reply STOP at any time to opt out. You agree not to use the Service to send unwanted messages to anyone.
Messaging
Once a sitter has enrolled on our enrollment page, the Service sends them text messages to coordinate care: an enrollment confirmation, booking requests, reminders about a confirmed booking, a note when a request is filled, and notes when a booking changes or is cancelled. At a parent's request, it may also send a sitter an invitation that the sitter can accept or decline by reply. Replying YES to a booking request means accepting that booking; it is not how consent is given. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Recipients can reply HELP for help or STOP to unsubscribe. If you add your own mobile number to your account, we also text you about your bookings, and you can reply STOP at any time. See How Sitters Opt In and our Privacy Policy.
Villages and introductions
If you join a village, its other members can see your name, and you can see theirs and the names of the sitters who have agreed to be part of it. You can leave a village at any time. Introductions happen only through people who already know each other, and only when each person agrees. Anything another member or a sitter shares or suggests is their own view, not ours. You remain responsible for deciding whether any sitter is right for your family.
Calendar and notifications
With your permission, the Service writes confirmed bookings to your calendar and reads your calendar on your device to identify evenings that may need a sitter. Your calendar contents are never transmitted to us. With your permission, the Service also sends you notifications about your bookings. You can change or revoke either permission at any time in your iPhone Settings. The Service continues to function without them; only the related features stop.
Your account and deleting it
You may delete your account at any time from Settings inside the app. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. It removes your account and sign-in, every child profile including any photos you added, every sitter you added, and every booking and its history. We keep the consent records for the sitters you invited, because messaging regulations require us to be able to show that every recipient agreed to receive messages. Those records keep the words the sitter saw when agreeing, which may include your first name, along with the number, time, and technical details that show the consent was given. Our Privacy Policy explains this in full.
Your responsibilities
You are solely responsible for your own arrangements with your sitters, including any sitter introduced to you through the Service. That includes vetting them, agreeing on rates, supervising the care of your children, and any payment between you and a sitter. BébéSitter is a coordination tool only, is not a party to those arrangements, and does not process payments between you and a sitter.
No guarantee
The Service is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that a sitter will be available, will accept a request, or will arrive as expected, and we are not responsible for the conduct, reliability, or qualifications of any sitter or of anyone introduced through the Service. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BebeSitter LLC and its members, managers, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of your use of the Service, or for the acts or omissions of any sitter or other user. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
