Booking is entirely online and self-serve through our babysitting page. Select your date and time, submit your request, and we match you with the most suitable sitter from our trusted roster. You receive their full profile when the booking is confirmed, and you can request the same sitter again for future bookings.

A Babysitter is hired for short-term, on-demand care: a few hours, an evening out, a weekend trip. Babysitters typically do not drive routines or develop long-term relationships with the family.

A Nanny is a long-term caregiver placed with one family on a regular schedule, whether full-time, part-time, travel, or overnight. Nannies handle routines, meals, school runs, and developmental activities, becoming a consistent figure in the children's lives. They also carry the mental load that usually falls to parents, often moms: tracking schedules, anticipating needs, and keeping the daily rhythm running so you do not have to.

Sunhouse offers both babysitting and Nanny placements in Vancouver. If you are not sure which is right for you, get in touch and we will help you decide.

Yes. Same-day babysitting bookings are possible depending on sitter availability, and members on a monthly babysitting membership get priority access for last-minute requests. Our on-call roster covers last-minute babysitting across Vancouver neighbourhoods including Downtown, Yaletown, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and Point Grey, plus hotel and Airbnb stays throughout Metro Vancouver. Reach out as early as you can and we will confirm availability quickly.

Sunhouse offers monthly babysitting memberships at four levels starting at $29/mo +GST. Each membership covers a set number of bookings per month, 2, 4, 8, or 12+, with the per-booking agency fee included.

Members get priority Babysitter access for last-minute requests and predictable monthly billing instead of paying per booking. Memberships require a minimum two-month commitment before cancellation. Membership benefits cannot be combined with other promotions, referral credits, special-event pricing, or one-time custom childcare arrangements unless approved by Sunhouse in writing. Memberships are ideal for Vancouver families who book regularly or want consistent care for date nights, work, and weekend coverage. See pricing for more.
