I have worked with this company on and off for a few years and they are easy and reliable to work with. You get to make your own schedule as a sitter and members can request you or leave it to Babysitting connection to find the right fit for you. read more

I was happy with the babysitting connection until a recent incident with Beth-the owner I guess. I requested babysitter to have a videocall prior to coming to my house and she accepted. In the videocall, she was unwilling to cooperate and hold a conversation with me saying that all her information was on the website. I didn't feel comfortable with her attitude and reached out to Beth to remove her from my schedule. What most disturbed me more than the babysitter was Beth's hostile attitude for me wanting to have a videochat prior to accepting a stranger to my house. Beth kept saying I made the babysitter feel like she was interviewed which shows she has very close relationship with the babysitter (How would she know this within minutes?). As a business holder she should be neutral in listening to both sides but I feel like this never happened. I think she has personal connections (maybe a relative) with some of these babysitters and I think this hurts her neutrality and her business ethic. She kept saying this person has five star reviews-which I don't care. First, its an internal review-Beth can easily delete any bad reviews. Second, even if she has awesome reviews, if I don't feel the vibe, I don't feel the vibe. That's it. Plus, I asked very conversational questions, like can you tell me your experience. This was just a conversation opener to me. What was I gonna ask? What did she eat for breakfast? lol.. Beth said this was an "interview question" and made her felt being interviewed. Oh no! what a big crime!! so sorry..LOL And, yes, I should be able to talk to this person whom I will accept to my house and trust my child with. It does not matter if they are all "vetted" by Beth which does not tell me anything since ON their website, they keep saying they are NOT liable for anything that happens. Their "policy" of not allowing us to chat prior to the sit is so unreasonable. I had no idea about this policy and cancelled my membership immediately. So watch out for Beth's "vetted" babysitters. You will not be able to hold Babysitting Connection accountable if anything happens BUT you are not even allowed to have a conversation with the babysitter prior to the sit!! I think this is ridiculous! read more

We used Babysitting Connection to find sitters while in Austin for my sister's wedding (and rehearsal dinner). My kids have not really had sitters (pandemic + live near grandparents) and I was so impressed by both of our sitters. They were both warm, confident and professional. I was able to fully enjoy myself at both events, knowing my kids were in good hands. What an incredible resource to have in Austin -- I am very jealous we don't have this in NJ! read more

Complete waste of money. You pay to see what they have and find out they have basically nothing useful and the search facility is useless.

I have been working as a babysitter with BSC since first opening. I absolutely love everything about this company! It truly is such an amazing experience for both the sitters and the families. Flexible schedule/hours, amazing kids & families + Beth, the owner and founder is ON TOP OF IT. I never have to worry about a thing. She is like this superhero business woman, wife and mom. She makes me feel comfortable enough to ask about anything and to never be afraid to do so! She offers competitive pay and amazing sitter perks + merch! I have met so many wonderful people during my time with BSC and have also gained very valuable experience and information. I will always recommend Babysitting Connection! read more

I've now booked with Babysitting Connection 4 times. Each time has been with a different person & each sitter has been great! I'm am extremely picky with who I have watch our 3.5 year old son. It is extremely important to me that they are currently active in caring for children. Little kids are so on the go & active; I need to know someone can truly be on top of watching them. This is actually why I trust these sitters more than even our families. Some of the grandparents in our family are quite elderly & also haven't cared for children in over 30 years. I feel so much more comfortable with the current experience level of the Babysitter Connections' sitters. Grateful to have found this service! read more

Such a great service. I was hesitant at first thinking it wouldn't be something I would use often enough to make the investment worth it. But I was wrong! It's so nice to be able to just pull up my phone and find a babysitter I know has been vetted by Beth. We've had some great sitters, but Annika is definitely a favorite around here. I only wish that I would have found Babysitting Connection sooner! I will continue to tell everyone I know about this awesome service. read more

I'm a babysitter for babysitting connection and I'm about to reach my 2nd year here. This is the best job I've ever had because you can make your own schedule, sit with amazing families/children and awesome boss who's understanding. I don't have children but when I do I will definitely sign up for consistent care! read more

I am so GRATEFUL for Baby Connection of Austin! Beth was very responsive and found a sitter that would come to my part of town (Lakeway). I fully TRUSTED the sitters - Jyoti and Kylee. They were both amazing with our 19 mo old, JC. He felt comfortable with them and I knew that he was in good hands. I also have 2 huge dogs, and they were wonderful with them as well! Y'all are absolutely amazing, thank you! read more

I worked here as a sitter. It was extremely unprofessional and I would even venture to say the company is exploitative. The owner Beth, treated me unfairly from day one. My honest reviews of my sit experiences were taken as complaints. I was gaslit, and spoken to with a ton if toxicity. Eventually, I was let go because on one customer complaint. I was not even allowed to share my side of what happened. The sit I was directed to by them had very rude and disrespectful parents but I was let go without being able to say a word in my defense.Beth hated that I spoke up for myself and was honest about my experience. Awful agency. Complete waste of my time. - Jessica Nixon read more

I am a sitter for Beth and have worked with her for over a year. She is so gracious and wonderful to work with. She truly does the research when it comes to her sitters and has even been able to employ many members of the Texas Sweethearts woman's organization I am a part of on the UT campus. She has even shown appreciation for us by coming to meeting and giving awesome merch and personalized cookies. I have had 7 years of experience working with children and various forms and childcare and this childcare service has clearly been the most amazing experience. It is obvious the time and effort that is put into this service and has exceeded any other childcare services I have been a part of. I totally recommend babysitting connection for your childcare needs. read more

I have been working/sitting for Babysitting Connection and Beth for several months now. I can't say enough about how wonderful she and this job are. She genuinely cares about her employees and the families she is servicing. I'm very proud to work for them and it's been a really fun side job. I've gotten to meet and work with a lot of cool families and kids and it's a very flexible job. If you need a sitter this is the place to go! read more

I've always relied on my own connections for my babysitting needs, but my work load has increased and the importance of reliable childcare have become more and more important. I turned to Beth to find me consistent care with quality sitters and she has MORE than provided. I've had the privilege of working now with several sitters on her staff and they are all wonderful and unique. Above all, they are kind and responsible. Beth runs a fantastic business!!! read more

So glad to find Babysitting connection of Austin (and so glad they are in San Antonio as well now!!) We have used them twice so far and both babysitters were very sweet and trustworthy. They came on time and my child seemed very happy with them. Highly recommend. read more

My experience was great! Sitter showed up on time and went all out. Super friendly and amazing

I love working for Babysitting Connection! Everyone is super friendly and I love how convenient it is to create your own schedule and find members in your area! read more

I love working for Beth, she truly cares about her employees and customers. I love what she has done with her business and think it is a very convenient for parents with young children who want experienced and fun babysitters :) read more

Sitters you can get just of good of families via Facebook and word of mouth. Beth is a poor example of a professional and speaks down to sitters. She will use profanity when speaking about and to you. Families I know have experienced the same. Beth is not in this for all involved, she is in this to take your money with a greedy smile on her face. read more

Babysitting connection did it again! Kylee was AMAZING! She was so sweet Cooper loved hanging with his "new friend". She loved on my new pup and was sweet as can be. Beth you're an amazing recruiter of lovely ladies and now I have 3 go-to girls my son loves. Peace of mind is everything!! read more

We used Babysitting Connection to find a babysitter for my two great-nieces (3 and 6) and one great-nephew (5), so the parents could attend my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. First, my nieces are both EXTREMELY cautious when it comes to their children, so I let them choose the sitter. They were perfectly comfortable with Andrea, and from what I heard, the kids really didn't want her to leave at the end of the night. read more

I'm a sitter for BCofA- I started working for Beth about a month ago, it has been so wonderful! I've had the chance to work with a few families and Beth makes sure the family is a good fit. I think the pay is also very fair! read more

Babysitting Connection has been a real life saver! I was hesitant to start using new people during the pandemic, but Beth set my mind at ease and worked with me to find people that were similarly-situated on the risk spectrum to be sure I was comfortable. I've loved both sitters we've had so far and we will definitely use this service in the future! read more

The best babysitters in Austin! We have loved working with Beth to find consistent care for our 2 kids. We fully trust the team she has created - everyone has been super reliable and professional. The portal is easy for members to use, and I love having confidence knowing that we'll always have someone to turn to when we need a sitter! read more

BEYOND amazing! Absolutely professional services and the sitters have been top-notch. No one staring at their phone while my kid plays, they've totally been engaged, responsible, and courteous. Thank you Beth for such a great local business! read more

I started using Babysitting Connection recently and we are so thankful for this amazing group. The founder of Babysitting Connection, Beth Heyer, is AMAZING. She does everything with 100% effort so I knew this was going to be a good venture for her. She has made the process of booking a babysitter so incredibly easy. Parents know how hard it is to find babysitters who are consistent, available and trustworthy. With Babysitting Connection - it's simple. Book your timeslot, pick your babysitter and it's booked. Beth interviews all of the babysitters and makes sure they are CPR certified, background checked, clean driving records etc. It pays off. We had Nyasia babysit our little boy last night and we felt so comfortable leaving her in charge. She is so wonderful I booked her again for next weekend! Thank you Babysitting Connection of Austin! read more

I have just started working with Babysitting Connection and I love it already! The hours are extremely flexible and you can make your own schedule! My boss, Beth Heyer, personally makes sure her sitters have sitting gigs and are well taken care of! She's also really sweet and always available to her sitters! I'm loving this job already :) read more
