Step 1
Request to join
Tell us about your family and where you live. We review every request before inviting a family into the community.
How Bluejay brings local families and babysitters together.
Bluejay helps families tap into the great childcare already in our neighborhoods, and gives local babysitters a place to be discovered by nearby families.
For families
Find the right local sitter.
Discover, compare, and connect with babysitters in San Anselmo and Fairfax.
Step 2
Discover local sitters
Explore babysitters from the community and compare rates, experience, qualifications, reviews, and availability.
Step 3
Make a request
Message a sitter directly or share a request with the community. Ask questions and agree on the details together.
Step 4
Book and pay directly
Confirm the booking in Bluejay, then pay the sitter using the payment method you arrange with them. There is no booking fee.
Real people, direct connections
Families and sitters choose what works for them.
Families choose whom to contact and book.
Sitters choose which requests to accept.
Babysitters set their own rates, and both sides confirm the booking details.
Families pay sitters directly, with no booking fee.
Clear expectations matter.
Bluejay reviews applications and speaks with sitter applicants, but that conversation is not a background check or a certification. Families should message sitters, ask for references, and meet before booking. Our safety page explains reporting, blocking, and guardian oversight for sitters under 18.
