Happy family planning vacation with babysitter from Mother Goose Salt Lake City

One of the most common complaints parents have when they talk about packing for a family trip isn’t the traveling or the long hours, but lugging bulky gear across the country. By the time you arrive at your destination, you often find out that you’re missing some key items anyway.

All our gear is thoroughly cleaned and inspected between rentals so you can ensure your children are safe and comfortable while they’re away from home.

How Are Babysitters Vetted?

Background Checked | Drug Tested | CPR & First Aid Certified

All our babysitters are verified and background checked to ensure your baby’s safety. Before they work with Mother Goose Child Care, they undergo a rigorous interview process and drug testing, and their performance is consistently evaluated to ensure they are providing the best possible service to your family.

Our sitters are all trained in CPR, and first aid certified as well, so you can enjoy your vacation knowing your children are in good hands. Whether you need a few hours to enjoy your vacation or plan on taking an extended trip, our babysitting services are here for you, serving Park City, Deer Valley, Salt Lake City and the Cottonwood Canyons, plus Sundance and the greater Provo area.

Enjoy Some Kid Free Time

It’s easy to get started with Mother Goose Child Care. Simply reach out to us either on our website or via phone with the times that you need a babysitter. We’ll help you figure out the details from there, like what gear you’ll need and where to deliver it, as well as any particular needs your babysitter needs to be aware of.

We understand that your schedule isn’t always set in stone, especially when kids are involved. Once we know your basic trip schedule and needs, we’ll assign a babysitter to you so you can stay in touch. You can get in contact with them if your schedule changes or if you need them to look after the kiddos for any additional hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mother Goose Child Care allows you to take advantage of the things you really want to do on your vacation, taking time away from the kiddos to explore the Salt Lake City, UT area on your own.

Cruise down the black diamond paths or take a trip out on the town. No matter what, you’ll be happy to have a little freedom to do what you want. Relax, recharge, and make the most out of your time in Salt Lake.

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions from parents looking for babysitters in Salt Lake City UT:

What Do Most Babysitters Charge Per Hour?

While the average hourly price for a babysitter can range, they typically range around $30 per hour. At Mother Goose Child Care, we understand that you want to enjoy your vacation, and we price our services at a rate that won’t break the bank. We match your family with the right babysitter based on your needs. Click here to see our rates.

What’s the Difference Between a Nanny and a Babysitter?

Both nannies and babysitters offered through professional matching services must be vetted. A nanny, however, provides ongoing childcare services for the family, while a babysitter provides short-term care to allow the parents to enjoy a night out on the town or help them enjoy their vacation to its fullest. A babysitter is typically a better option for families that require casual short-term care but plan to provide for their children regularly.

Do You Tip Babysitters?

When you book through Mother Goose Child Care, you aren’t required to tip. It is appreciated, and all tips go to the babysitter, however. Tipping isn’t considered a normal or expected act, but it is a great way to show how much you appreciate your babysitter’s services while on vacation in the Salt Lake City area.

Is My Baby Too Young to Babysit?

No, there are no age requirements that come with our babysitting services. We personally match your family with the right babysitter for their needs, so if you book for a young child or baby, we will consider our sitters’ experience and match you with someone who is experienced in taking care of young children and babies.

Will I Be Charged for an Older Child Present, Even If They’re Not Being Babysat?

Any minors present will incur an additional charge. We keep this charge as low as possible to ensure our child care services remain affordable for you and your family. All minors incur an additional charge because it can be difficult for a babysitter to care for one child but not another when they are in the household, so you can be sure that your family is taken care of.

How Does the Confirmation System Work?

Our booking confirmation system will send you an email once you have been scheduled with a sitter. For the booking to be considered valid, we must have all the details about your reservation, so be sure to fill out the reservation form completely before submitting it. If you are having any trouble, or have questions about your booking, give us a call!

Is It Faster for Me to Call in to Secure a Booking?

If you are trying to book a babysitter with short notice, then calling can get you in touch with someone sooner. We take calls and try to be available whenever you need to talk to us so that we understand your needs and can match you with a babysitter as soon as possible.

Our Mother Goose sitter made our recent trip to Park City a breeze! I was unsure about leaving my 18 month old while traveling, but I am so glad I booked a sitter for our stay. I will definitely be using Mother Goose when we return!

Excellent service. Great communication from owner and sitter. We were visiting Park City from out of town and found Mother Goose before our trip. I had a sitter lined up within a few hours from my initial request. Day of communication was great. My 3yo had the biggest smile the next morning and gushed about her sitter and all the fun they had! Will definitely use this service the next time we are in town!

We had the best experience with Mother Goose while we were on vacation in Utah for a week!! We had Iris babysit every day for our 7 month old son while we skiied and had the most wonderful experience. She was so wonderful with him and his face absolutely lit up when he saw her each morning. We would absolutely use Mother Goose again, thank you for such a wonderful vacation!

We’ve used Mothergoose child care services 3 times now and all the times it has been a wonderful experience, with no family around to help us this has been the best thing for us to be able to have a date night! Our kids have loved all the sitters we have had (and we even managed to get the same sitter again when requested because my boys all loved her so much) we’re really grateful we’ve found this service and know our kids are safe and having the best time,
I would definitely recommend using Mothergoose to anyone in Utah or visiting like us to be about to get a night out while knowing your kids are in the best hands!

We had the best experience with Mother Goose while we were on vacation in Utah this past weekend! We had Robin who took care of our 7 month old baby girl while we attended my friend’s wedding rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. She was wonderful with her and took care of her for both days while we attended the wedding festivities. Excellent service. Great communication from owner and sitter. We will definitely use Mother Goose again when we are on vacation in Utah!! Highly recommend!

Mother Goose is such an awesome service! They go above and beyond to help ease some of the stresses of traveling with kiddos. Last month, the owner, Jill, personally went out of her way to deliver a crib last minute, which saved the day! I know some of the reviews mention frustration with thinking it’s a 24 hour service (the sitters are available 24 hours I think, but the scheduling people aren’t available 24 hours). I’ve never had a problem with them, and the whole process of getting booked is pretty simple. I will definitely use them the next time I need a nanny during a Park City stay!
