Wonderful sitters available

Birdie break has been a huge help! We have found some great sitters for our 3 year old. They communicate well and have lots of experience. They keep our kid busy with new activities each visit like reading and crafts, and some even bring new activities to try (new books, puzzles, stickers, etc). The app is easy to use to post a request and you can even do recurring requests. Babysitters respond quickly and you can view their experience and certifications before booking them.
Thank you Birdie Break for helping us out over many weekends!

Review for Birdie Break

I was really impressed with how responsive they are and the fact that they really want to work with you to ensure the childcare is what you need.

Great App

Have met some wonderful babysitters. Easy to use and feel assured that the caregivers have been properly vetted.

I was nervous and now I recommend to everyone 🐤

As someone who finds it difficult to trust others with her kids, I was nervous to try Birdie Break! I did a lot of reading on their website and my only complaint is that I didn’t use the app/service sooner!!!!! We have had incredibly sitters who my kids adore. They always ask when they will be back. I see some complaints about the prices. TBH, these are the going rates for qualified sitters and nannies now! Especially with such an intense training and vetting process. These really are the best of the best! One of my friends struggled to find a regular sitter and now found a perfect match for their family via Birdie! Cannot recommend Birdie Break enough.
