Babysitting 101

For Rachel Charlupski, she’s always seen babysitting as a way to lend a helping hand. “In college, I began matching babysitters with families in my local community,” she recalls. But constant and enthusiastic referrals quickly turned a pastime into a thriving business, providing a much-needed service to parents. That’s why she launched The Babysitting Company, a childcare service offering professional babysitting services at fine hotels, private residences, special events and to sports teams throughout South Florida. “I have a very high caliber of clientele that expect the best, and that’s what I deliver,” she says. All the company’s sitters go through a rigorous screening process including drug-testing and background checks, and must have at least 5 years of experience before they can join the team. “I love being a part of enriching children’s minds and allowing them to enjoy the best experiences possible while they interact with one of our babysitters,” she says.
