Trusted, in-home babysitting at Lake Tahoe.

Q: What ages do your babysitters care for?

Our sitters have experience with all ages, from newborns through toddlers and pre-teens. Let us know your children's ages when you book so we can match you with the right sitter.

Q: How far in advance should I book a sitter in Lake Tahoe?

Book as soon as your travel dates are set, especially for peak ski weekends, Christmas and New Year's, and Presidents' Day week. We also accommodate same-day and last-minute requests whenever possible by phone or text.

Q: What is the agency fee, and is it refundable?

The $65 agency fee covers arranging your childcare and securing a sitter for your requested time. It is non-refundable once a sitter has been confirmed. If we cannot find a sitter for your request, the agency fee is fully refunded.

Q: Do you offer childcare for multiple families or large groups?

Our standard rates cover up to four children from one family. For multi-family vacation rentals, wedding parties or ski groups with more than four children, call or text us so we can arrange two or more coordinated sitters.

Q: How do I pay my sitter?

You pay your sitter directly at the end of each shift. The $65 agency fee is handled separately when your booking is confirmed.

Hourly, in-home childcare in the comfort of your hotel, cabin or vacation rental, on both the California and Nevada sides of the lake. From first chair to cozy evenings out, our trusted sitters care for your little ones.

“I prioritize care you can truly trust, so you can relax and enjoy your time at the lake.”

Fleur, founder of Lake Tahoe Babysitting Co.

“I prioritize care you can truly trust, so you can relax and enjoy your time at the lake.”

Hi, I’m Fleur. Through years of coaching and caring for kids on the mountain, I’ve built strong relationships with families who value safety, trust, and reliability.

After working with visiting and local families in Mammoth Lakes, we’re now expanding to Lake Tahoe, bringing the same dependable, in-home babysitting to families on both sides of the lake.

With a background in childcare and close, hands-on work with families, I understand what parents value most on vacation: peace of mind. Many families prefer having a trusted sitter come to their hotel, condo, cabin or Airbnb rather than bringing their children to a daycare setting.

Every sitter on our team is carefully selected for their professionalism, warmth, and ability to create a safe, comfortable environment for your children, so you can relax and enjoy your time at Lake Tahoe.

Picking a sitter is a big deal—let's make sure you feel good about it!

Everything visiting and local families ask before booking an in-home sitter at Lake Tahoe.

What areas of Lake Tahoe do you provide babysitting in?

We provide in-home babysitting on both the California and Nevada sides of the lake, including South Lake Tahoe, Stateline, Heavenly, Incline Village, Kings Beach, Tahoe City, Palisades Tahoe (Olympic Valley), Northstar and Truckee. Our sitters come to hotels, resorts, condos, cabins, Airbnbs and other vacation rentals, and private homes. Staying somewhere else nearby? Reach out directly and we will do our best to accommodate.

Do you provide babysitting on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe?

Yes. We cover the Nevada side of the lake too, including hotels and resorts in Stateline and vacation rentals and homes in Incline Village.

Do you provide childcare in Lake Tahoe hotels, cabins and Airbnbs?

Yes. Our sitters come to you, so we can provide childcare directly at hotels, resorts, condos, cabins, Airbnbs and other vacation rentals, and private homes anywhere around Lake Tahoe. Your children stay in the comfort of their own room or rental, with their own toys, snacks and bedtime routine.

How much does babysitting cost in Lake Tahoe?

Our hourly rate depends on the number of children: $35/hour for one child, $40/hour for two, $42/hour for three, and $45/hour for four children. Every booking carries a 4-hour minimum, plus a one-time $65 agency concierge fee. Sitter fees are paid directly to your sitter at the end of their shift.

What ages do your babysitters care for?

Our sitters have experience across all ages, from newborns through toddlers and active pre-teens. Please share your children's ages when you book so we can pair you with the best-matched sitter.

How far in advance should I book a sitter in Lake Tahoe?

We strongly recommend booking as soon as your travel dates are set, particularly for peak ski weekends, Christmas/New Year's, and Presidents' Day week when demand is high. That said, we accommodate same-day and last-minute requests whenever possible by phone or text.

How do you vet your babysitters?

Every sitter goes through a personal interview and reference checks before joining our team, and is CPR certified, so you can feel confident knowing your children are in capable, trusted hands.

What is the agency fee, and is it refundable?

The $65 agency fee covers the personalized coordination and concierge service involved in arranging your childcare and securing a sitter for your requested time. Because this work is completed before your booking is confirmed, the agency fee is non-refundable once a sitter has been confirmed. If we’re unable to find a sitter for your request, the agency fee will be fully refunded.

Do you offer childcare for multiple families or large groups?

Our standard hourly rate tiers cover up to four children from a single family. For multi-family vacation rentals, wedding parties, or ski groups with more than four children, please call or text us directly so we can arrange two or more coordinated sitters.

How do I pay my sitter?

Sitter compensation is settled directly with your caregiver at the end of each shift. The $65 agency fee is handled separately through our booking portal when your schedule is locked in.
