What is Virtual Sitting?
To be clear: a virtual sitting is not the same thing as in-person babysitting. A virtual sitting is hiring a professional to engage children digitally for a short period of time. The sessions can be used to assist kids with schoolwork or facilitate an interactive game—like charades. It’s not a replacement for physical care. Families considering a virtual sitting during this time should continue to view safety as their top priority.
Parents Should Keep in Mind:
- Screening and Vetting is Still Important
Even though the sitter isn’t physically in your house, they’re still spending time with your child. - Never Leave Your Child Unattended
The sitter is not able to physically supervise or control your child when connected only by video. - Review Planned Activities
Work with the sitter to determine what’s appropriate for your child.
Families considering a virtual sitting should continue to view safety as their top priority. Check out our Trust & Safety Center for more information.
