Your kids get a playmate.
You get a break.
A team of eight Woodward School 3rd graders who keep your kids entertained with crafts, games, and outdoor fun—while you stay home and breathe.
Not babysitters. Playmates.
We started Southboro Sitters because our parents' friends kept asking us to come play with their kids. Turns out we're really good at it. We bring the crafts, the energy, and the imagination—you stay home and finally get things done.

Common questions
We play with and entertain your kids while you’re home. Think of it as having a fun, responsible friend over for your children—giving you breathing room to work, cook, or just take a break. You’re always in the house.
Always. That’s the whole model. We’re not babysitters—we’re helpers. You stay home and we keep the kids happily occupied so you can focus on other things.
We’re best with kids ages 2–7. Old enough to play games and do crafts, young enough to think we’re the coolest people ever.
$12–$15/hour depending on the number of kids. Way less than a traditional babysitter, and your kids get a playmate instead of a screen.
We come get you immediately. You’re right there in the house—that’s the beauty of the mother’s helper model. No guessing, no worry.
Use our Calendly link to pick a time that works. We’ll send you a quick questionnaire about house rules, allergies, and favorite activities before we arrive.
