We started in Park Slope, Brooklyn and have grown to serve families across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and parts of the Bronx. From date nights to last minute emergencies, we match families with vetted, reliable sitters who show up on time and know how to connect with kids.
We work in homes, hotels, Airbnbs, and event settings — wherever your family needs us.

LISA MAGARO
I took over Pinch Sitters in 2000 and have spent the last 25 years doing one thing: making sure New York City families have trusted, reliable babysitters they can count on.
My background in Human Resources and Operations means I take the vetting process seriously. Every sitter in our network is carefully screened — because when you leave your child with someone, trust isn’t optional.
As a parent myself, I understand what it means to need childcare you can truly rely on. I personally match every family to the right sitter — and after 25 years, I’ve gotten pretty good at it.
