What if the child I'm caring for is sick?

All kids can fall under the weather from time to time. At Sittercity, we encourage parents to be transparent with their sitter if their child has fallen ill.

If you receive word that you'll be caring for a sick child, it's up to you to decide whether you'll see the booking through. If you are no longer comfortable caring for the child, no problem—just let the family know you as soon as possible.

We also encourage you to review our Attendance Expectations for more information on punctuality, cancellations, and no-shows.
