Service Fees
Annual Registration Fee:
An annual registration fee of $35.00 is required to use the referral service. This fee helps to cover the cost of time and money spent conducting and maintaining: criminal background checks, Department of Motor Vehicles Record checks, and verification of credential certifications.
Referral Fee:
A referral fee of $10.00 is required each time a sitter is requested, confirmed, and booked. For example, if you requested and had a sitter on the 1st, 5th and 29th of the month, you will be billed $30.00 ($10.00 per referral/request). This covers the time spent reviewing sitter applications and the interview process. It also helps to cover the time spent searching our sitter profiles to find the sitter that is most suitable for your family. For all requests coming in with 48 hours notice or less, the referral fee will increase to $15. Referral fees are billed to you at the end of the month. All referral charges are due on the 25th of the month for the previous month's services. A $10.00 late fee will be charged if your payment is not received by the 25th of the month.
Referral Fee Packages:
You can now purchase referral packages for a varying number of referrals. These packages are pre-pay ONLY. Our data base keeps track of the number of referrals used.
