This experience from booking to the entire process has been amazing! My kids absolutely LOVED — they are all asking how many sleeps until she can come back. It seriously couldn’t have been a better experience for a first sitter that isn’t family. We will be using this app and hopefully her again! Thanks again for reaching out, my mama heart is happy.
Thanks for asking! We had a wonderful experience and will absolutely use FAST again. I’ve already recommended it to neighbors and friends. Betty was great and I was totally confident in her abilities/responsibility. Thrilled to have a service like this these days!
Lori is amazing!!!! You guys are amazing!!! Word of the day is amazingggg 🎉
I had a sense of relief knowing Andrew didn’t have to juggle parenting AND work—something he does often and rarely complains about.
Christina was amazing today! Jumped right into the toddler chaos and played all kinds of games with the boys. So grateful for your app!
Hi, I moved to Delaware and miss FAST! Can I share the app to the local babysitter groups? Will you hire in Delaware?
Our Sitter was amazing! She was so great with my two littles and my daughter loved that she brought crafts to do!
The Mom I worked for last night was in disbelief at how easy it was to hire a FAST Sitter. She talked about the difficulty she’s had hiring reliable caretakers for her daughters. She was so happy.
She’s amazing! She showed up when she was supposed to, jumped right in and they are doing great… it was probably her easiest warm up and roll ever.
It was so awesome and total last minute. She was great – I definitely would recommend her as a sitter to anyone! I’m glad it worked out!
Amazing, Thank you! I hyped up your app to my parent friends at our daycare. With all the school closures, I told them it’s a great backup childcare option.
She was INCREDIBLE! I would hire again and again!! So extremely grateful you figured out the most helpful service for parents. As a single Mom of 3 young children, finding a really great sitter and one last minute was never an option until now.
Your Company really brings a sense of joy and freedom back to parenting!
We are big fans of our sitter and the app. You guys have saved me and my PTO multiple times – We appreciate you guys!
We both have big meeting days and the FAST sitter arrived within 40 mins and saved the day. She’s fabulous too.
Our Sitter was absolutely fantastic! I’ve recommended the app to even more people since then and look forward to using it again! Excited to watch this company grow!
Our sitter just left – she did so great with him and is so sweet. You guys have the best sitters!
When our nanny called out this morning, I started to panic since we both had in-person meetings to attend at work today… then remembered FAST and quickly solved our problem!!
We just started using it and already love it. The creator of the app is responsive and so willing to help and you can tell she really cares about the services. She takes vetting each sitter very seriously so i feel comfortable booking with anyone on there. I was nervous at first not knowing the person who was coming to watch my kiddos but they vet sitters better than I can vet them honestly with the background checks and interviews they do! Couldn’t recommend this app more!
FAST is the best! The founders are unbelievably communicative and overall just amazing. The sitters have all been incredibly professional, kind, safe, and responsive. We have used FAST over 15 times to cover for school closures, work events, and date nights, and we are grateful to have this service nearby. It’s given us a "village" of safe, reliable childcare.
It was great, thank you so much Ashley! … I’ll definitely be using FAST again! I told my mom gym group about it today so you may get some more Yardley area sign ups!
Leaving your baby with a new person is scary—but I was so impressed by the quality of caretakers FAST provides, and the high touch customer service from the head of the company. The app is solid-feature to “favorite” a sitter you love and only reach out to them for a new booking is absolutely clutch.
Thanks so much for your email. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you guys do. It lets me actually have a life.
…keeps talking about how nice Ms. Lori was and how much she loves the sea turtle you made with the magnatiles! Thank you again!!
Angie was great!! Excited to use her again! This is really a genius platform and so reliable!
Thank you so much for your help Ashley, truly appreciate it! I know the boys will have fun with Charlie tomorrow and I’m obviously a customer for life now 🥹
My daughter had a great time and Nicole did great keeping the house clean! Very appreciated!
She was timely, clean, and did such a great job updating us on the kids – thanks for checking in!
The app feels super secure (even parents are verified), and the convenience in booking was 👌🏻 will keep you posted!!
Thank you so much! We’re excited to have this resource. Amazing work. (I work in website and app development and you did a stellar job!)
This app is brilliant. Nothing like being in a jam with no regular sitter and no family members to jump in and help when you have a last minute work commitment! We had the app up and running in no time and a FAST sitter was there when we needed her!
I am so excited about this app! Can’t wait to use it and you can tell how much thought went into this to make both parents and sitters feel safe!
This app is awesome. Super simple to set up. Love how they vet their sitters. Scheduled our first sitter so easily and was able to read all about her before she arrived. Great!
…this is the most thorough and thoughtful follow up for something related to an event – thank you so much!
We used them last weekend when our normal sitters were not available. The whole process was seamless, I loved booking through the app with verified sitters, fully vetted with background checks, you can choose any preferences (like non smoker, CPR training), you can pay with Apple Pay, message the sitter you are matched with and share any details about your family, kids etc. Just so so easy and I am so grateful as a mom who doesn’t have a huge Rolodex of people I can count on that I know have this resource!
Thank you… She was very sweet. We will definitely be using the app again.
The entire process was very easy! Coincidentally, we ran into another mom out that was using FAST last night! The word is spreading about this awesome app 😊.
She was Amazing! She even cleaned up the toys and dishes in our sink before she left. I would def book again… She was wonderful to work with.
Thank you so much for creating this app – it’s truly amazing, especially moving here and having no network of sitters.
Cannot recommend enough if you need sitters. We’ve used 2x now 🫶🏻
She was great! Thank you! A friend shared the article about the app. It worked it perfectly!
OMG! FAST came to the rescue tonight!!! We really needed a night out! We got last minutes Sixers tickets tonight and it was SO FUN!
She was wonderful! She jumped right in and started playing with our daughter. She even brought her stethoscope in from the car because she knew she liked playing checkup!
Thank you so much for providing such an easy and accessible last-minute babysitting solution. My kids and I really enjoyed having her as our babysitter, and we’re looking forward to another great experience with FAST in the future!
FAST is the best idea ever for families looking for last minute care! Genius!
Wow! Fascinating. Love it. Can’t wait to share my experience with other working Moms.
My first experience with FAST was amazing! So easy and quick and she was so great!
We had a great experience today and have a huge appreciation for a new babysitting resource!
I love this service and I’ll be sure to use again and to continue to tell people about it!
It went well! We are using it again tonight. The app worked great, and our sitter and my son had a great time!
Guys, I will not stop raving about @findasittertoday – We had a lovely sitter for our son, while the rest of the family went to see The Nutcracker. My home was clean and baby was happy when I got home!
I can’t tell you what a great experience I had. I was bragging about the app at the party that I was at! I’m sending the app to my Mom friends who were there!
I am not sure where I can leave you a glowing review / shout this from the rooftops, but please tell me and I will! I already reviewed our Sitter in the app (who’s phenomenal, btw).
OMG best app ever. I can’t say a bad thing about my experience using the app.
Back in the days before I found your app, I would ave spent tons of time scouring for a sitter. The app gave me ALLLLL that time back!
I loved that the app allowed for messaging as well, because it allowed for us to communicate before she even arrived to save us time. The moment she walked through the door, I loved her!! I cannot wait to use the app again!
I’ve told so many people about the ease of the app and how secure it felt. We have never just left our children with a sitter we had not vetted, but I knew and had relied on the fact that you had.
Thank you for your follow up – we are highly impressed with your services thus far!!
We just had our first booking and we are officially hooked on this service! What an incredible resource for families!
Our sitter was wonderful to work with and my children had an amazing time with her. To know she, and other qualified care providers, are available is just exceptional. Thank you for creating this “village”
Our Sitter tonight was absolutely amazing. My son adores her and asked if she could come back.
…a friend recommended the @findasittertoday app and it’s been so helpful!! I get really nervous about childcare and spoke with the founders of the app and there’s a whole vetting process etc. Needed to share for any main line parents who’s livelihood can’t exist without childcare!!! Life saver
She was so great!!! She was so proactive and helpful – just dove right in and the kids loved her! Thank you again – This biz is 💯
For sitters we have found a handful of reliable ones through @findasittertoday and we just reach out to them on the app now to see if they’re available. This app has saved us so many times
OMG you guys are the best – she was so nice and sweet! She handled it like a champ and the extra help was so great.
I wanted to share that we’ve used FAST a few times over the last two weeks as we have truly been in a bind. We had one great young woman last week and then another terrific young woman sign up for 2 different shifts today when things really took a turn. We then mutually agreed for her to accept my post for tomorrow. While I’ve been home each time, I do think I could have left the kids reliably in the hands of both women. I wanted to share so that other people may feel comfortable trying it out too. I know it’s a lot to try and find last minute care but FAST has really helped us out.
Thank you so so much. This app is a godsend. Also great customer service!
Our sitter was terrific! She arrived right on time, was super friendly and easy going with the kids and put us at ease immediately. Thank you for a much needed date night!
I use this app for 90% of my babysitting needs now, having only been introduced to it over the summer. In addition to echoing the sentiments above (sitters have been great, thoroughly vetted, etc), all of my favorite sitters being on it means that’s it’s effectively managing my “roster” vs me texting them all one by one to see if they’re free. The ability to pay via cc/debit/Apple Pay automatically also takes the logistics of finding cash, checkbook or remembering to Venmo after my kids are back in my care out of the equation. While this is obviously secondary to the caretakers on app, it still is a nice benefit! Plus, the co founders are a local family – they care a lot about the families they’ve built the app for. It’s not some soulless corporation, it’s a mom and dad, which somehow makes me feel a lot better!
