Finding a trusted babysitter can feel like an uphill battle. You ask around, send messages to friends, and hope someone knows someone who’s free. At the same time, local teenagers and young adults looking to babysit often struggle to find regular, reliable work.

More about us
In a town like Marlow, most people still find babysitters through recommendations from friends. It works well, but it isn’t always reliable. Sitters get busy, people move away, and parents can find themselves stuck at short notice with no one to call.
We wanted to make it easier. Faye’s Sitters offers the same trust and familiarity as a personal recommendation, but with the organisation and reliability of a managed service. Every babysitter who joins us is part of the local community, DBS checked through Ucheck, and personally verified by our team.
Parents can relax knowing their sitter is safe, capable, and backed by Faye’s Sitters’ insurance. Sitters know they’ll be supported, paid fairly, and connected with families nearby who value what they do.
It’s a modern way to handle an age-old problem, built around community rather than convenience apps.

Have questions?
Below are a collection of FAQ's but if you have further questions, feel free to reach out directly to us.
Just get in touch with us to share your date, time, and how long you’ll need childcare for. We’ll then match you with a local babysitter from our approved network and confirm your booking. You’ll receive your babysitter’s details a few days before the sit.
Our babysitters are local, responsible young people, mostly students and early-career adults from the Marlow area, who genuinely enjoy working with children. Every sitter is vetted, DBS-checked through Ucheck, ID-verified, and supported by our team.
All babysitters go through a detailed vetting process, including: • A DBS check (carried out via Ucheck) • ID and reference verification • A short interview and onboarding review Only once they’ve passed these checks and completed our onboarding process can they accept bookings through Faye’s Sitters.
Yes. Every booking made through Faye’s Sitters is covered under our insurance policy. Babysitters are also supported by us for every sit they complete.
All payments are handled through Stripe, our secure payment processor. Parents pay Faye’s Sitters, and once the payment has cleared, the babysitter’s share is automatically transferred to their bank account. No cash, no hassle.
Babysitter hourly rates are set by Faye’s Sitters based on age, experience, and qualifications. There’s also a small booking fee charged to the customer, which helps cover the platform, insurance, and administration costs. Babysitter pay is never reduced by this fee.
In the rare event a sitter can’t make it, we’ll immediately arrange an alternative babysitter from our local network. You’ll always be kept updated and never left without childcare at the last minute.
Parents receive the sitter’s details in advance, including a short introduction. Many families choose to have a quick chat or introduction call beforehand. Our goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident before the sit.
If you’re reliable, responsible, and enjoy working with children, we’d love to hear from you! You can apply directly through our website. We’ll guide you through the DBS check and onboarding process and help you start accepting bookings once approved.
