Sitters By The Shore is St. Simons Island’s premier sitter referral service for luxury child care, elder care, and pet sitting. We connect families and visitors with highly qualified caregivers who deliver exceptional service and complete peace of mind.
Our Commitment to Exceptional Care
Finding a sitter you trust can feel overwhelming, especially when you are balancing travel, schedules, or changing family needs. That’s why Sitters By The Shore sets clear, high standards for every St. Simons Island child care and babysitting placement.
We accept only top-tier applicants. Every sitter holds CPR and First Aid certifications and completes a detailed, multi-step screening process. This includes phone and in-person interviews, reference checks, and full background reviews. As a result, our clients work with caregivers who have proven experience caring for infants, toddlers, older children, and teens. Many of our sitters also have training in special needs care.
In addition, our caregivers come from strong professional backgrounds. They are nannies, teachers, healthcare workers, and qualified childcare specialists who love what they do. They focus on creating a safe, warm, and positive experience for every child in their care.
Elder-Care Support You Can Trust
Reliable elder care is just as important as trusted child care. For this reason, we take extra steps to match each senior client with a compatible caregiver. We consider personality, lifestyle, communication style, and level of need. This thoughtful approach helps seniors feel supported, comfortable, and respected.
Personalized Pet Sitting Services
We also provide premium pet sitting services on St. Simons Island. Our team pairs each family with a sitter who understands the needs of their specific breed. This ensures pets receive attentive and personalized care while you are away.
Leadership With Decades of Experience
Sitters By The Shore is led by owner Debbie Taylor, who brings over 40 years of child-care and sitter-placement experience to the business. After moving to St. Simons Island more than thirteen years ago, she began sitting and referring sitters to meet the island’s growing needs.
Before relocating to Georgia, Debbie owned and operated a daycare center in Maryland. As both a provider and a working mother, she understands what families need most—reliable support, clear communication, and a sitter they can trust.
Debbie’s lifelong love for children and animals shapes every part of Sitters By The Shore. Her strong business background also ensures a smooth, professional experience for each client. Above all, her priority is simple: to provide the highest level of service to every family who chooses Sitters By The Shore.
