Virtual Sitter & Playdates

Due to COVID-19, Bell Family launched Virtual Sitters to provide childcare relief to families across America. A Virtual Sitter is a childcare provider who entertains your child(ren) through conversation over the Internet using a software program such as Skype or Google Hangouts.

You can book a Virtual Sitter for as little as 30 minutes to help with the kids. Virtual Sitter rates are $23 per hour for 1 child ($11.50 for 30 minutes), and $25 for 2 children (for 3+ children please inquire about rates). No membership fee required. Check out this video for a short clip of a Virtual Sitter doing a teaching lesson with a child and this video from our founder about Virtual Sitters.

Our Virtual Sitters can:

• Teach improv (read a play, act out scenes, etc.).
• Bake together (you provide the ingredients, the Virtual Sitter will guide the junior chef).
• Teach/practice another language (Spanish, French & more).
• Learn or practice playing an instrument.
• Tutor or help guide with homework and online lessons. Tell us the subject, we’ll book you with an expert.
• Do yoga, ballet or another movement activity.
• Host a virtual book club or dance party.
• Organize family photos, process paperwork, complete online grocery orders, etc.

Playdates

Each week our team develops a curriculum of fun, educational, entertaining virtual activities for up to four children at one time to enjoy in a group setting. One well trained sitter will lead the session and develop an itinerary of engaging activities for the group to follow during the 45 minute playdate.
