Q: What is Diabetic Sitter.com?

A: Diabetic Sitter.com is the first online babysitter community that helps parents with diabetic children find babysitters in their local area who are able to recognize the signs and symptoms associated with high and low blood glucose levels.

Diabetic Sitter.com is an exclusive communications platform that ONLY searches for babysitters in your local area who have experience taking care of children with diabetes.

Sign up for our service and you will get immediate access to our database of babysitting professionals in your local area.

Babysitters: ..................................................................................................................................................................................

Q: Are their any special certifications or experience needed to register with your website?

A: Yes, you must have experience taking care of a child with diabetes & be able to recognize the signs and symptoms associated with high and low blood glucose levels.

Babysitters that sign up for our FREE service typically meet one of the following criteria:

•  Type 1 Diabetic
•  Type 2 Diabetic
•  Parent of a Diabetic Child
•  Sibling of a Diabetic Child
•  Nursing Professional

Additionally, our parental members prefer certifications. However, you are not required to have completed certifications when you register with Diabetic Sitter.com.

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement?

A: Yes, you must be at least 13 years old. The FTC forbids us to collect personal information on Internet users under the age of 13.

Q: What are the benefits of registering on your website?

A: There are over 18 million people in the United States alone (approximately 6.2% of the US population) & 194 million people worldwide that currently have diabetes. It is estimated that by the year 2030, that statistic will double to over 400 million people worldwide.

There is a tremendous demand for parents seeking babysitters in their local area who have some prior experience recognizing the signs and symptoms associated with high and low blood glucose levels, but those sitters are very difficult to find. This experience typically demands a higher hourly wage than other babysitting jobs. A Diabetic Sitter.com membership allows parents of children with diabetes in your local area to find you online.

Q: How much do sitters get paid?

A: Wages vary widely depending on a variety of factors, including:

•  Travel Distance
•  Location
•  Age of Sitter
•  Number of Children
•  Experience
•  Job Responsibility
•  Whether a car is required or not

Diabetic Sitter.com does NOT interfere with your ability to negotiate a higher rate with the parents. Hourly rates average over $12/hour. For a parent, adult or nurse educator, the fee could run in the $20/hour range.

Q: How much does it cost to register as a babysitter?

A: Registration for babysitters is FREE!

Q: How do I find jobs through your website?

A: Register as a babysitter online and parents will contact you when they are doing a search for babysitters. If a parent of a child with diabetes feels you are qualified, he will give you a call or send you an email.

We will also send you an email when a parent in your local area posts a job on the Diabetic Sitter.com website

Parents: ...............................................................................................................................................................................

Q: How do I find a local sitter on your website?

A: It's easy. Simply enter your zip code in the search tool prior to registering and you can see how many sitters are in your area.

Once you are satisified with the number of sitters in your local area, you will need to subscribe to our service as a Parent in order to gain access to the individual profiles (names, phone numbers, email information) of the sitters in your local area.

Q: Are Parents or Adults eligible to register as a sitter?

A : Yes. Parents and Adults who have experience taking care of a child with diabetes are strongly encouraged to register. This is an excellent way to earn some extra cash.

Q: Are the parents or babysitters screened?

A: No, Diabetic Sitter.com is simply a free venue for parents of children with diabetes to connect with sitters, therefore, we cannot afford to provide this type of service. We do not do scheduling, background checks, or screening. We do, however, strongly encourage parents and sitters to verify the information provided prior to hiring a new babysitter or accepting a job. We also recommend the sitter and parent interview each other on the phone before a job commences.

Additionally, you can conduct your own background check on our sitters by going to www.web-detective.com or www.intelius.com .

Q: How much does it cost to register as a parent?

A: Registration for parents is FREE!

Q: How do I cancel my membership?

A: If you would like to cancel your membership with Diabetic Sitter.com, please send an email to info@diabeticsitter.com.
