FAQs
Where can I find a babysitter quickly in London?
If you're in urgent need of a babysitter in London, Yoopies provides a streamlined solution. Start by creating an account, then detail your specific childcare needs in a job post. Yoopies allows you to browse through extensive profiles of available babysitters, enabling you to evaluate potential candidates based on their experience, qualifications, reviews, and availability.
For added security, it's advisable to check references and, if possible, arrange a meeting with your chosen babysitter before finalising any arrangements. This ensures a safe and suitable match for your family's needs.
Where can I get help with childcare costs?
Here in the UK, you can get help with childcare costs through various government schemes. Parents can apply for Tax-Free Childcare, offering up to £2,000 per child per year, or access 15 to 30 hours of free childcare for 3 and 4-year-olds.
Up to 85% of childcare costs can be reclaimed for those receiving Universal Credit. Additionally, the Childcare Voucher scheme, though closed to new entrants, still benefits existing users. For specific eligibility and applications, visit the official UK government website or contact local childcare support services for advice.
How much does a babysitter cost in London?
The cost of a babysitter in London varies depending on several factors, with rates typically ranging from £7 to £12 per hour. The location, the babysitter’s qualifications and experience, and specific needs like special care or additional duties can influence the rate.
Yoopies offers a flexible platform to easily find a babysitter who matches your family's needs and budget, ensuring a perfect fit whether you're seeking occasional help or a more permanent solution. With our wide selection of profiles, finding an experienced babysitter at the right price is simple.
Do I need a nanny or a babysitter?
Nannies and babysitters offer essential childcare services, yet differ in commitment, duties, and hours. Nannies often work full-time, engaging in children's educational and developmental activities, and may handle additional tasks like meal prep and homework assistance. They can be live-in or live-out, providing consistent support to families.
Babysitters, on the other hand, typically work on an as-needed basis, focusing on the safety and well-being of children during specific times, such as evenings or weekends. This distinction will help you decide the best childcare option based on your unique needs and schedules.

Martin L. We were incredibly lucky to have connected with Rea. She was very responsive, easy to communicate with and was reliable, and great with the kids. Rea gave us comfort from the moment we swapped messages and even more when we spoke to her on the phone and even more when we meet her. We have no issues recommending Rea and will certainly use her in the future when we are in London.
