The Council's Home Safety Unit is working in partnership with the Sitter Service by providing safety equipment to the families involved in the service. The Home Safety Unit is responsible for the ordering, controlling and issuing of the safety equipment aimed at creating a safe environment for both child and sitter.
What is a Sitter Service?
A Sitter Service provides affordable, quality childcare in the child's own home at times when other care is not available for families who are working or students (lone parents and two parents). The service is available between 7am and 10:30pm seven days a week. Sitters look after children in the home, take part in activities with children and will collect children from school or nursery. They are not expected to carry out household tasks. Parents using the service pay an hourly fee according to their household income. Sitters are police checked, have First Aid training and are trained, supervised and employed by the Service. As far as possible, the same Sitter will care for the child when the Service is used.
How do I get information about using the service?
If you are a working or student parent living in North Lanarkshire who might be interested in using the service, please use the "Contact Us" box on the right hand side of the page.
