While You're Out Babysitting

While You're Out Babysitting While You're Out Babysitting is Madison's 1st professional babysitting referral service. We set a new and exciting standard for child care services.

Since 2004 we have been helping Mom and Dad get a night out and check off your long list of To Do's; child free! How often have you had to cancel an evening out or turn down an invitation due to inadequate child care? That is where we come in! We do all the leg work. You no longer have to make several phone calls to end up with no one and completely stressed out. One sitter request email to us and

we'll take care of the rest! When you come to WYOB for a sitter, feel comfortable in knowing that all sitters have been interviewed and screened personally by the owner, Cheri Ress. While You're Out Babysitting provides hourly babysitting services that you can trust and rely on in the Madison area. We understand how the best plans can change at the last minute, leaving you no one to care for your children. How are we different? WYOB is a local MOM run business. We know exactly how hard be to leave your children, even if it is for a much needed night out. We take the job of taking care of your little ones very seriously. We will keep them safe and sound and have a blast doing it. We want your children to be just as excited that we are there as you are to go out. All of our sitters come prepared with a craft & activity bag, full of fun activities and games to keep them busy. Our Sitters consist of a variety of professionals from the child care industry. They range from nannies and child care teachers, to assistant teachers, college students and others in related fields. All sitters go through a rigorous screening, including a thorough phone and personal interview, reference check, criminal background check and driving record. Every sitter that is referred by WYOB is also CPR certified.

I know we are no longer up and running, but this was too good not to share!

Leave the mothering to someone else and enjoy a day of no meltdowns, and no diaper changes and no going to the bathroom with kids pounding on the door. What bliss!

So this is it. Our last day. It is very bittersweet, but I honestly feel it is the best choice for my family and the next season of our lives. πŸ₯°

I can not thank you all enough!

Thank you to all of the WYOB families over the years who let us into your homes and trusted us with children.

Thank you to my very first family (Kari Fisher) for giving us a chance to start. I think of you and your beautiful girls often.πŸ₯°

Thank you to all of our sitters who took job after job over the years (some of you job after job after job! πŸ˜‰).
Some of you have been with me for so long and you have no idea how much that has meant to me... Katie, Melissa, Heather, Denise, Nettie & Lisa. I am so appreciative of the hours you gave over the years...thank you!πŸ’“

Tara...thank you for all of your assistance and office coordinating over the years. You are the best! πŸ₯°

β€œThere’s a trick to the 'graceful exit.' It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over β€” and let it go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out.”

Every. Single. One.

After much thought and consideration, I have decided to close While You're Out Babysitting on May 1st, 2019.

The process of finding qualified sitters over the last few years has been difficult. The number of sitters that we currently have on board is the lowest it has ever been. More often than not, interviews have been a struggle and they have been with under-qualified candidates that do not meet our set of qualifications and standards.

While there are a few reasons that contribute to me coming to this decision, the main reason is my family. I have given this so much thought over the last year and as our children are getting older I am to the point where I do not want to continue missing things. Although this was a decision that I did not come to easily, I am excited about new opportunities and the time that this will give me with me family.

Thank you all so much trusting us with you children over the last 14+ years. I have met so many wonderful families and am so thankful and proud of what our agency has done over that time. I could not have done this with all the wonderful sitters that have been on board over the years.Thank you ladies, thank you.πŸ’“

It will be business as usual through April 30th. An email was sent to all clients with additional information. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions.

Thank you so much!
