About Us

About Our Founder

Hi for those of you that are new, my name is Carmen Sansone, and I am the founder of Find-A-Sitter. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. I went to St. Joseph’s Academy for high school and recently graduated from Miami University with a degree in finance. I started Find-A-Sitter the summer going into my senior year. 

I am one of ten kids with fifty or so first cousins and an adorable niece and nephew, Adriana and Jimmy. For as long as I can remember, my aunts and cousins have asked me to find them sitters. Time after time they would come back, and my brother always encouraged me to do it full-time. In July 2021, I figured, “let’s do it!”

We connect families to great people that happen to be high-quality sitters in an easy and efficient way! Each sitter goes through an application and interview process. We currently have 330+ amazing sitters and are always looking to grow! 

Before bringing on a sitter, I ask myself, “Would I allow this person to babysit Adriana and Jimmy?”

Our mission is to give you more freedom and peace of mind while you enjoy your time out of the house. Let us find you a sitter that will take care of what’s most important to you while you take care of you.

Testimonials

See What Our Clients Say

Maria was a dream. I was in a last minute bind and needed help with my nine week old daughter. It was her first time with anyone outside of her parents or grandparents so to say I was nervous was an understatement. Maria was communicative days ahead, arrived to our home early, and was so sweet and attentive to our daughter from the moment she walked in the door. She must have sensed my apprehensions she sent text updates and photos throughout the night (7 hours!) which put me at ease. She's wonderful and we will be requesting her again.

FAS Mom

One of the nicest and most fabulous families I have babysat for! The mom is super understanding and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the babysitter feels welcome!

FAS Babysitter

I've loved using Find-A-Sitter because it's so easy! it takes the guess work and trouble out of finding a sitter. Carmen has been so easy to work with and quick to respond anytime I need a sitter. My kids have loved every sitter we've had. They have all been so personal and engaging with my kids. It's so nice to be able to leave my kids for a night and know they are being completely cared for.

FAS Mom

When Katy arrived at our house for the first time she was punctual, and she got right at our son's level and started playing with him immediately! If she had a question, she texted me (which I SUPER appreciate) and she continued to text me updates throughout our night away. It was our first time using Find-A-Sitter and it's always nerve wrecking to leave the house with a new face for the first time. I didn't have a single worry the entire time we were gone! Thank you Katy!

FAS Mom

Such an amazing family! The mom and kids are beyond respectful and super welcoming!

FAS Babysitter

We moved to St. Louis recently and were worried about finding a reliable babysitter. Carmen and Find A Sitter was referred to us by a friend and I'm so glad they did. We have used Find A Sitter several times and have had the best experience. All the sitters have always been on time, reliable, and my daughter loves the! I fully trust Carmen and her sitters, we wouldn't use any other service for babysitting!

FAS Mom

As a first time mom with newborn twins, I had no idea where to start or who to trust for babysitting. Find A Sitter has been an amazing resource for my family, and is always my "go-to" for my childcare needs. Every sitter has been incredibly kind, caring, and professional. The twins have loved them too!

FAS Mom

Thanks Maggie for watching our daughter! Maggie easily followed directions we gave and was kind enough to take Mairin on a walk right away when she got there/when Mairin asked which was helpful so we didn't have a tantrum before we left for the evening! Thanks again!

FAS Mom

Emily was super friendly and attentive to directions when she arrived even though I did not have anything written down or ready when she arrived, so I appreciate her going with the flow and trying to remember everything was saying. I kept changing her arrival time because I was running late, and I appreciate her willingness to adapt. Additionally, we came home later than scheduled, and she was very kind and flexible.
