Question 2

What makes Blue Harbor Babysitting Co.'s pricing unique?

Accepted Answer

We do things differently — on purpose. Blue Harbor Babysitting Co. employs every sitter as a W-2 team member, not an independent contractor or referral. This means your sitter is background-checked, insured, CPR & water-safety certified, and covered under our company’s liability and payroll protections. Our session-based pricing includes everything upfront — taxes, insurance, and sitter pay — so there are no hidden fees, tips, or surprises. Families know exactly what they’ll pay before booking, and sitters know exactly what they’ll earn. While referral sites or Facebook groups may show a lower hourly rate, they leave you responsible for taxes, liability, and vetting — things we take care of for you. We absorb those costs so you can relax knowing your sitter is safe, professional, and fully supported. It’s a difference you can feel when your sitter walks in the door — reliable, prepared, and part of a real team.
