The Babysitters Club

Creative SittersWhile you’d love to believe your sitter morphs into Mary Poppins while in charge of the kids, chances are you spend more time worrying that she’s tweeting, texting or talking on the phone while your DCs are camped in front of the TV.

To engage them in the arts while you’re gone, look into Creative Sitters, which matches NYC families to the babysitter that best suits their interests, whether it’s art, music or other fun activities. After years as a child arts educator for the likes of El Museo del Bario, City Lights Youth Theater and other local institutions, founder Renee Pena started Creative Sitters with the belief that kids should explore, imagine and create through customized childcare. All sitters undergo background and reference checks, interviews, first aid and CPR training and educational workshops, and you can also check them out beforehand at monthly sitter meet-and-greet events (the next one is 11/20 in Manhattan).
