Bluejay is a local babysitting community in San Anselmo and Fairfax. Browse the sitters near you, see who has sat for families at your kid's school, and request the ones you want. Pick a date and time, choose up to three sitters, and send one request. They say whether they're free, and you confirm one. If nobody is free, post it to the community and any sitter can apply. Every sitter is screened before they're added to Bluejay. Profiles carry an intro video, their school, and recommendations from local parents. Once booked, message your sitter, add the sit to your calendar, and cancel if you have to. Membership is $59 a year or $10 a month. No booking fees, and sitters keep 100%.

Bluejay Community's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
