My kids absolutely love Kendall. She's on time, fun and a great communicator. She plays sports and board games with the kids and keeps them occupied without screens!
Students Who Sit takes all the work out of it from the parent's side. We just request a date, then get an email when it's fulfilled.
SWS has been such an ideal job to have as a student! I can fit everything around my schedule and sign up for a gig whenever I need extra income.

How are sitters verified?
Every sitter registers with a valid .edu email and has a one-on-one interview with our team. We score each sitter on character, skills and experience before they can accept a sit.
Who can join?
Faculty, staff, alumni and students connected to a participating university. Families and sitters always come from the same campus community.
How much does it cost?
Sitters set their own rate, usually $20–30 an hour. No subscriptions and no long-term commitments.
How do payments work?
You're invoiced right after each sit, and payment is processed automatically.
When does the app launch?
This fall. Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know when it's live.
