Finding the right care for your kids shouldn't feel stressful or uncertain. STRIDE connects families with personally vetted sitters and youth helpers who meet real community standards — so you can focus on what matters most.
Every STRIDE sitter is part of a vetted local network.
STRIDE isn't an open marketplace — it's a curated network built around real North Shore families.
STRIDE is built around trust — not open listings or random matches.
STRIDE does not operate as an open marketplace. Every sitter on the platform is personally vetted, supported, and held to clear standards before being introduced to families.
Every STRIDE sitter is reviewed individually for maturity, experience, and reliability.
Many STRIDE sitters come recommended through local families, schools, camps, and community networks.
Vetting doesn't stop once a sitter joins STRIDE. Feedback and engagement help ensure standards are maintained over time.
STRIDE sitters are expected to communicate clearly, arrive prepared, and act with care and professionalism.
STRIDE operates on a parent membership model. This allows us to vet sitters, provide ongoing support, and maintain standards — while sitters keep 100% of what they earn.
Membership supports vetting, ongoing oversight, and a trusted local community — never a cut from sitter earnings.
No random strangers.
Every STRIDE sitter is vetted, supported, and part of our community.
Tell us what care you're looking for and we'll guide the next step.
