Wonder Women

Wondersitter Childcare Service

It’s always the same dream: An army of professional babysitters is at your beck and call, day and night.

At Wondersitter, the dream’s not far off. Summon help to your doorstep by simply stating your request — date, time, name of favorite sitter — online.

Founded by San Francisco-native Rose Titcomb, the service carries out background checks on all staff. You can expect Mary Poppins-turned-Wonder Woman (minus the alarming uniform).

A combo to fuel fantasies, if ever there were one.

Wondersitter (415-912-8300 or wondersitter.com). For complimentary first-time booking fee, enter DAILYCANDY in the “How did you hear about us” field of your request.
