Trusted local connections, simplified
The Maywood Sitters Network helps members find background-checked, reference-verified local sitters quickly. We provide introductions and smart scheduling tools — families and sitters coordinate scheduling, rates, and payment directly.
Simple Process
How It Works
Submit a Request
Share date, time, location, and care details through your member portal. It takes just a few minutes.
Smart Matching
Our scheduling technology checks sitter availability, proximity, and preferences — then introduces you to the best fit.
Coordinate Directly
After the introduction, you and the sitter finalize schedule, rate, and payment privately. Maywood does not set rates or process payments.
