Family Run – Family Fun!

A passion for childcare…

City Babysitters is a boutique and family owned and operated babysitting business. Jeni Sargent started the company well over 10yrs ago. To say she had a passion for child care is an understatement. Before starting the company Jeni ran in her own in-home child care while raising a young family in the country. Upon moving to the city she worked for numerous nanny agencies before starting City Babysitters.

Like mother like daughter…

Jeni has since passed, but her passion for child care has continued due to her daughter Kristin. Kristin grew up surrounded by the babysitting business and her mother’s love for it was infectious so it is what she knows best! Wanting to carry on her mother’s legacy she has kept City Babysitters running exactly the way her mother loved running the company. That is: we pride ourselves on delivering a comfortable, safe and personalized babysitting service. We love getting to know clients on a personable level, for we know we are taking care of your most precious gift life can give, your children! And therefore we also like to know each and every one of our nannies on a personal level. So you know, we know who we are booking for you. That is what makes us your boutique service! The down side is that we do have limited nannies – we can’t love and know everyone! We don’t have a 1000 nannies on our books, so make sure you do book in a head of time. The up-side is that piece of mind, the quality, the reassurance that you and your family are being well taken care of and the best part – you can actually go out and enjoy your time out!

With some help from close friends…

Kristin has run the company for the last few years and with the help of one of her most dedicated and professional nannies Margret they continue on Jeni’s passion and legacy. Kristin also works as a full time producer in the Film and TV industry and so has entrusted Margret with managing the company of which has worked out perfectly. Margaret has been apart of the company from the beginning and has shown our family so much love, support and professionalism she is family! Having recently been given guardianship of a new born baby girl, we all call princess, she works primarily in bookings and answering your calls and emails personally… and of-course, booking your babysitter personally.

Please note…

Due to this hands on boutique personalized service our fee’s may vary and certain requests maybe a little difficult for us at times. Before the big bucks we want ensure you have the right nanny booked for you.

Highly qualified nannies…

All of the nannies on our books have their Working With Children’s Check, Police Check and First Aid. And of-course having limited nannies, we have the best of the best! The qualifications don’t just stop there! We have nannies qualified in nursing, doula, kindergarten teaching, children’s entertainment and even other languages for those overseas guests.

And lastly…

Our business is fully insured.
