ZapSitters is a Houston-based platform that connects families with trusted local caregivers for last-minute and scheduled help. Whether someone needs a babysitter, a nanny, a house helper, a pet sitter, or a companion for an older family member, ZapSitters makes it easy to find reliable support in minutes.
Our goal is simple:
Give families peace of mind and help caregivers earn more.
We’re building a community where parents, professionals, students, and seniors can request care quickly — and where local providers have the chance to grow real income with flexible work.
ZapSitters started with a simple truth: American parents deserve better.
In 2025, a busy mom in Seattle needed a trusted babysitter for a parent-teacher conference. She tried apps, local groups, and word-of-mouth — but nothing felt safe, fast, or reliable.
That night, she said: “Why isn’t there an Uber for childcare?” So she built it — with love, tech, and a mission to help every family from coast to coast.
