Why Hire a Your Happy Nest Travel Babysitter:
Our vacation babysitters go through the same stringent vetting process as our nanny candidates, including an agency interview, three verified childcare references, CPR/First Aid certification, and a thorough background check.
Rather than matching you with just any available sitter, we carefully consider your family's needs and your children's ages, routines, and care requirements to help find a suitable match for your stay.
Our Atlanta babysitters are all at least 20 years old and have a minimum of three years of childcare experience, with many bringing extensive experience as career nannies.

With an experienced babysitter looking after the little ones, you can focus on the festivities without worrying about keeping children entertained throughout the day.

Reviews
We were referred to Your Happy Nest by a friend when we were searching for babysitters while on vacation in IOP. We’ve now used them two years in a row and plan to use them every summer when we head down. The team is great at communication and finding awesome caretakers for our group of kids under 3. They were also quick to find an alternate when one of our sitters got sick day of.

We got a babysitter through Your Happy Nest's placement services last month. Enrolling on the site and scheduling a sitter was a breeze. Our babysitter that day, Ms. Susan, was really nice and bonded with our toddler wonderfully. She was also punctual and professional. All in all, a great experience and we highly recommend using their services.

Your Happy Nest saved my life!! I started out on a popular babysitting website c**e.com and two different babysitters fell through at the last minute. I received a reply email from Your Happy Nest less than 10 minutes after I sent my inquiry. They were happy to schedule me with an amazing babysitter just hours before the time I needed coverage. The kids loved her and told me they had a great time. Thank you!!!

Vacation Babysitter FAQs
Have a question we didn’t answer? ~ Contact Us
-
You pay your babysitter directly at the end of each shift, typically by cash, Venmo, Zelle, check, or another agreed-upon payment method. Your sitter will provide their payment details directly.
-
To help protect the health of our families and caregivers, Your Happy Nest cannot provide babysitting for children who are sick or contagious. If your child has experienced symptoms such as a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or a contagious illness within the previous 24 hours, please contact our team before proceeding with your booking. Children must be symptom-free for at least 24 hours without medication before care can resume. Cancellation fees may apply if you cancel at short notice.
-
When the sitter arrives, a family member should meet them in the hotel lobby and accompany them to your room. You are responsible for reimbursing any applicable parking fees and should also arrange food for the sitter if they will be caring for the children around mealtimes.
-
Absolutely! Let us know about any particular experience, language skills, or childcare requirements that are important to your family. While we can't guarantee availability for every request, sharing your preferences when booking helps us identify sitters who may be a good fit.
-
Yes, overnight babysitting may be available depending on your family's requirements and sitter availability. Families typically pay the sitter's hourly rate for daytime working hours, plus an agreed-upon flat rate of around $150 for sleeping hours. If the role involves active overnight care, such as caring for a baby who wakes frequently, hourly pay may apply throughout the night.
-
If you particularly like the sitter we provide you with, you can absolutely request the same sitter again. We'll check their availability and do our best to accommodate your request, although we cannot guarantee that the same sitter will be available for every shift.
