At The Motherhood Center, we have a large staff of carefully selected, qualified, professional babysitters who are experienced in caring from newborn to school age children.  Our sitters have been personally interviewed, thoroughly screened and have had  background checks completed.  It is our goal to provide the best possible home childcare, so that you can feel at ease when leaving your child.

Babysitting Procedures

In-home Babysitting

We keep it simple.  Easy registration.  No monthly fee.  When you know you want to book a sitter, you can do so by filling out our Babysitting Request Form.  There is a 4-hour minimum at $75.  Additional hours are billed at $17/hour.   You will be billed by The Motherhood Center, so no payment needs to be made to your sitter unless you want to give a gratuity.  Please note that we charge double for holidays.

If you have an emergency situation, call our office at 713-963-8880 ext 107 becaue we try to meet last minute requests. Requests made prior to the date services will be needed have a better chance of placement.  We will be happy to take your bookings two or more weeks in advance. The more notice you give us, the better chance you have of booking your preferred babysitter.

The Babysitting Request Form is located at the top of the page on the left. This form is automatically sent to our office. The form needs to be filled out each time, but you can use one form for multiple dates.

As soon as we have arranged for a sitter, we will confirm with you by phone or e-mail. A credit card is required to confirm your reservation.  When service is rendered, the sitter will submit an invoice and your card will then be billed.
