Coast Sitters has become our favourite company on the Coast. All our childcare problems have been solved, whether it's on the weekend, after school or an emergency. Bookings and communication is run really smoothly and all the sitters we've used have been of a consistently high standard and are always friendly and professional. They engage well with our kids (and pets), and keep the home running smoothly when we're not there.
Communication has always been easy and friendly, and I couldn’t have asked for better sitters. All of them have been extremely competent and always on time. The sitters have only been too happy to do whatever I have asked (park, preschool drop-off, baking, washing). I like how there is always a backup and it’s not my problem to sort. My girls are always well cared for, and if that’s all they did, then that’s really all I could ask for.
We've had regular, weekly care with Coast Sitters since September 2017, and our experience with them has been amazing. Coast Sitters gives us peace of mind that our child is safe, happy, and engaged, not to mention the flexibility to work in with our changing work hours and last minute requirements. They always take the time to match our family with the right sitter, communication is consistently prompt, friendly, and professional with both the sitters and the admin team.

How do I know which sitter is best for my family?
We are all about finding the best sitter-family fit at Coast Sitters. We have written fun bios about each of our sitters so you can choose who is best for you.
If your preferred sitter isn’t available at the time you need, don’t worry! All our sitters are exceptional, and fit into the same high calibre of care. You can never go wrong.
I need a sitter NOW, what should I do?
Ring Bianca, quick! 021 061 3781. Please note, a late booking fee of $30 applies within business hours (9am – 5pm) and $50 outside of business hours.
What if I arrive home early?
We respect the sitter keeps your booking time free for you, so you will be charged for the hours of your booking, with unneeded hours capped at 1 hour.
For example, if you book from 5pm – 11pm, and arrive home at 7pm, you will only be charged until 8pm. If you arrive home at 10pm, you will be charged until 11pm.
How do I pay for it?
We’ve removed the hassles of cash to make your life even easier. You will receive an email containing your invoice and online payment instructions after the babysitting event. We even take credit card!

About Bianca
Hi, I’m Bianca the Managing Director of Coast Sitters. My husband Caleb and I have been blessed with four beautiful children and although we were raised in the sunny Bay of Plenty, we have become Coasties at heart. In September 2019, I jumped at the opportunity to grow Coast Sitters into something even more amazing.
As a mum, I know how stressful it can be leaving your children in the care of a sitter so I am VERY passionate about offering a babysitting service which provides parents with the complete comfort that their children are in safe hands so they can relax and have some much deserved child-free time. Coast Sitters provides an easy and accessible way for families to book a sitter of their choice with peace of mind that they are trustworthy, loving, vetted, and reference checked. Coast Sitters is a family run business that is all about linking families with sitters and building networks that last forever. I hope to speak with you soon.
