SitterCity Coupons & Promo Codes

The easiest way to save money on Sittercity is to pass on your promo code to friends who are also in need of sitters. The site gives you this code when you pay for a premium subscription and if a friend uses it, you get a $30 Amazon gift card.

This is great for a couple of reasons. First, the typical shopper does not want to skimp on paying the actual sitter. There are fairly specific rate levels for different kinds of care-giving and experience levels and it's not safe to hire an unqualified person, just to save a few bucks. Second, the cost of buying a subscription to Sittercity varies, but it can cost between $35-$140 (depending on how long you need access to their database). If you only need the service for a month, that $30 Amazon gift card almost entirely offsets the cost.

Sittercity.com has tons of helpful tips for hiring, like how to conduct background checks on sitters and a cheat sheet where you can list everything from your kid's allergies to whether or not they're allowed to wear a pirate costume to bed.
