Busy Feet
Babysitters in St. Augustine, Florida
Date night on St. George Street, a wedding at the Treasury, or just a quiet evening while the kids are in good hands — Busy Feet matches St. Augustine families with local sitters we have interviewed in person and whose references we have actually called. We are a family-run referral service, not a directory: a booking is only confirmed when your sitter says yes, and same-day requests get an answer in about 30 minutes.

About
Hi! I’m Abby & i’m 19! I’ve been babysitting for about 3 years and have experience with children of all ages, from toddlers to preteens. I’ve cared for individual children, siblings, twins, and children with autism and additional needs. I have a particular passion for working with children on the autism spectrum and genuinely enjoy getting to know each child’s personality, strengths, and individual needs. I have hands-on experience and understand the importance of patience, consistency, communication, and creating an environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I love being hands-on, planning activities, playing, helping with routines, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged rather than relying on screens. I’m currently studying psychology in college and hope to build a career working with children, especially those with autism and additional needs. Above all, I want families to feel comfortable knowing their children are cared for, understood, and having fun!

About
Hi! I’m Gaëlle, a mom of three girls with experience caring for children both professionally and as a parent. I started my childcare journey as an au pair in New York City, where I cared for children with disabilities. After that, I worked as a nanny for a family with three boys. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and adapting to each child’s individual needs. Now, as a mother myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your children. I would love to provide a caring, safe, and fun environment for your little ones. I also speak both French and English!

About
I have been babysitting for 5 years now. My mother is the principal of St. Andrew's by the bay preschool in Annapolis MD, this is how I found families to sit for and have helped out in the preschool as well! I've spent the night at families houses to watch the kids, prepare meals, drive them to school, and tidy up if needed! I am very flexible with times so don't be afraid to ask!
How Busy Feet works
- We interview in person and speak with her references before a sitter ever joins the bench.
- You book in minutes from the sitters serving your neighborhood, for a planned night out or a same-day scramble.
- Confirmed only when she says yes. Same-day requests get an answer in about 30 minutes, and you pay your sitter directly after the sit.
Simple, honest pricing
One-time enrollment of $85, then a quarterly plan: Silver $49/quarter + $10 per booking; Gold $99/quarter + $5 per booking; Platinum $189/quarter + $0 per booking. Sitters set their own hourly rates and you pay them directly; we never touch that money. Full details on our pricing page.
Questions, answered
What does a babysitter cost here?
Sitters set their own rates, from $20/hr in St. Johns County, and you pay your sitter directly. Busy Feet itself is a one-time $85 enrollment, then a quarterly plan: Silver $49/quarter + $10 per booking, Gold $99/quarter + $5, or Platinum $189/quarter + $0. Sits run a 3-hour minimum, and we care for children from 6 weeks old.
How are your sitters vetted?
Every Busy Feet sitter is interviewed in person by our family, and we personally call her references before she can take a booking. Her profile wears the badges she has earned, including CPR verified and driver verified where they apply.
Can you cover a wedding or a night downtown?
Yes. Members book date nights downtown the same way as any sit, and visitors in town for a wedding can use Guest Care with no membership: a flat $25 guest booking fee and the sitter comes to your hotel or rental. Nights of Lights season books up early, so ask ahead when you can.
