Who Are We?

Since 2007 Sitters4U has provided recruitment and placement of professional childcare, educational, administrative and home management support services for private families, nationally and abroad, as well as childcare zone set up, planning, management and staffing of kids care zones for corporate events, family events, childcare zone staffing, playroom installations; and childminding services for the film industry for both long and short range films.

Having processed over 100 000 applications since 2007, facing rejection rates of an average of 92% due to the severe shortage in South Africa of skilled labor, we maintain an active database of professional staff across South Africa having approved around 8000 since inception and with a currently active database of over 3000 professionals nationally, we not only save our clients time, and resources but through stringent vetting processes, we ensure our clients peace of mind connecting them to the qualified, mature, skilled, experienced passionate, nurturing carers they are seeking.
