Sport Sitters is a booking platform connecting Division 1 female student-athletes with families wanting childcare that emphasizes physical activity over screen time for optimal neurocognitive child development.
Sport Sitters aims to address financial challenges faced by female student-athletes, underfunding in women’s collegiate sports and disengaged childcare in the following ways:
Female Student-Athletes:
Being a Sport Sitter provides female student-athletes a great opportunity to earn additional income and offset record high tuition costs when not training or competing on the field, court, mat, water, sand, ice, or trail. Its a win-win situation where they can showcase their leadership skills, connect with the community, and positively impact the lives of children. Our sitters excel as champions both in the classroom and in their sport. They represent success at the highest level in many aspects of life and serve as exemplary role models for children.
Families with Young Children:
Parents confidently book reliable, active student-athlete sitters, allowing them to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing their child will be engaged and well-cared for while they’re away. Our sitters embody hallmarks of elite childcare including physical activity, time management, and safety.
Child Development:
Children reap long term benefits. Neurodevelopmental research indicates that physical activity enhances cognitive skills such as attention, working memory, decision speed, concentration, and focus. Our sitters promote healthy lifestyles, emphasizing active play over screen time or sedentary activities with every child during every job.
Investment in Collegiate Women’s Sports:
Sport Sitters is the only babysitting company, platform or application that aids in the advancement of college womens sports by giving a portion each booking directly to the Sitter’s team, energizing student-athletes to join the network and empower their sport. The fee provides funding for essential resources, training, and other expenses not met through their athletics program allotment.
