More Than a Sitter’s Hourly Rate
Our pricing is comparable to other professionally managed childcare services—but Blue Harbor works differently from booking an individual sitter.
Your session price includes:
-
A carefully screened, W-2 Blue Harbor employee
-
Payroll and employment administration handled by us
-
Workers’ compensation and applicable insurance coverage
-
Sitter matching, scheduling and ongoing agency support
-
No responsibility for directly paying or managing your sitter
-
A reliable team behind every reservation
We take the administrative and liability-related stress off your family. There are no sitter profiles to browse, interviews to schedule or selections to make. Simply book your session, and our team will professionally match your family with a vetted Blue Harbor caregiver based on your needs and availability.
You’re not only paying for the hours of care—you’re booking the protection, reliability and ongoing support of an established childcare company, with every detail professionally managed from booking through the end of your session.

The Blue Harbor Heritage
Blue Harbor was inspired by a lifelong love of the shore and the belief that parents deserve to experience true relaxation during their travels. As parents ourselves, we understand how important it is to find a childcare professional you can completely trust—especially when you’re away from your usual support network.
What began as a small mission to help traveling families enjoy more quality time together has grown into a trusted vacation-support agency serving destinations throughout New Jersey and Florida. We proudly provide carefully vetted childcare professionals for beach days, coastal weddings, memorable nights out and everything in between.
As our families’ needs grew, so did our vision. Blue Harbor now also offers Sandpiper family-assistant sessions designed to make vacation life feel easier—from grocery shopping and beach preparation to organizing children’s belongings and resetting shared family spaces. Together, our childcare and family-support services give parents more time to relax, reconnect and enjoy the moments that brought them away in the first place.
