UUCUC Resources for Childcare

April 22, 2025

New Resource for Families at UUCUC

We now have a pool of qualified babysitters available for our families! These are middle school and high schooler students from UUCUC who have attended a babysitter safety training class and completed an application process. These young sitters are eager to provide safe, responsible care for your children.


See the list of available sitters. Check back to see if anyone new has been added.


Parents/guardians are responsible for contacting and scheduling the sitters.


To support you in this process, download this information sheet with helpful guidance on average pay rates, the capabilities of young sitters, how to communicate expectations, and key questions to ask when choosing the right sitter for your family.


We hope this initiative makes it easier for families to connect with responsible babysitters within our community.
