Sitter Request iPhone App Helps Busy Parents Find Babysitters
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- Sitter Request Inc announced the release of its first mobile application, Sitter Request for iPhone, available now for free in the App Store. Sitter Request is designed to eliminate the frustration every parent has experienced too many times: the inability to find a babysitter when you need one. Sitter Request for iPhone is the first app of its kind, offering parents a private marketplace of on-demand, trusted babysitters who can be scheduled with the touch of a button.
When looking for a sitter, parents are most concerned with finding someone trustworthy to care for their children. As a result, parents rely on word-of-mouth referrals from friends as the most trusted sources of new babysitters. Sitter Request builds on top of these trusting relationships, using parents’ social graphs and crowd-source technology to give parents access to sitters already screened by their friends.
Without Sitter Request, most parents know only 3 or 4 sitters whom they can call, which leads to frequently failed efforts to find someone at the last minute. By using Sitter Request, parents can significantly increase the number of trusted sitters available to them. For example, a social circle of 8 parents may use Sitter Request on their iPhones to effortlessly establish a network of 30 trusted sitters. With instant access to an order-of-magnitude-larger labor pool, parents dramatically increase their chances of finding an available sitter whenever one is needed.
“Parents spend a lot of time trying to schedule time with their babysitters. It can take hours, sometimes even days, of texting and calling to schedule someone,” said David Dudas, Founder and CEO of Sitter Request. “Sitter Request is fast because it sends alerts to all the sitters in your network, tells you which sitters are available, and lets you schedule someone with the touch of a button.”
Sitter Request does not require sitters to register with the service or even have the app installed. They receive notifications of job requests and can easily review the details and accept or decline the job. When sitters respond to job requests, Sitter Request automatically alerts the parent.
Sitter Request for iPhone is available for free in the App Store today. To download Sitter Request for iPhone please visit http://sitterrequest.com/app. To watch the demo video please visit http://sitterrequest.com/video.
