The Security Protocol
The Travel Sitter Standard
Five non-negotiable steps. Every sitter. Every time.
- 1
Government ID Verification
We cross-reference government-issued identity documents against official records. No anonymous profiles. Ever.
- 2
Official Criminal Background Check
Verified legal records pulled directly from judiciary sources — not a database ping or an ID match. Re-checked every 6 months.
- 3
In-Person Interview
A real conversation with our team. We assess character, motivation, and judgment face to face.
- 4
Standardized Judgment & Scenario Assessment
Temperament and stress-response testing. We see how a sitter behaves when things go wrong, not just when they go right.
- 5
Travel Sitter Safety Training
Mandatory internal training focusing on emergency response: recognizing choking signs, managing severe allergic reactions, and following strict emergency communication protocols.
80% REJECTION RATE
We prioritize your child's safety over platform growth.
The people we hire
French childcare has a quiet bias problem. We don't.
We hire skilled, vetted caregivers from every background and every neighborhood — the 16th, the 93, and everywhere between. Our sitters speak Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Wolof. They've worked with expat families, traveling families, and Parisian families across the city. We choose them for skill, judgment, and heart.
We reject on judgment and safety. Never on name, hijab, accent, or postcode.
Higher standards. Wider welcome.
Why it matters
Built by a mother, for parents.
After a medical crisis in Southeast Asia with no trusted childcare to call, I realized the "Identity Verified" badges on major apps were a lie. I built Travel Sitter to be the security infrastructure I needed that night in Ho Chi Minh City.
