M.V. Kid Sitters is more than a babysitter service. The company was founded in 2005 and is a licensed Massachusetts state agency (Mass. license # 7299).  It  endeavors to provide trained child care for visitors to the Island.
 

" I am often asked by friends and other summer visitors if I know a sitter for their kids," says Lori Sue Herman, the proprietor (also an attorney in Edgartown) and a mother of a son, Jesse.   I have observed that seasonal residents, their guests, brides and other visitors often don't know where to turn for help with the kids, be it during an evening out,  event, a rehearsal dinner or other parties. Hotel guests and home renters want a night out and don't know where to get responsible child care"

CPR TRAINED         * 24 HOUR NURSE ON CALL      * RESPONSIBLE AND CARING

Lori researched this issue and so began this important service. The service is insured and the sitters follow a specific rules of conduct and safety. If needed, a nurse is on call for emergency assistance.

The sitters have CPR training, background and reference checks, and come to the client's venue - sitters have watched children at weddings, parties, rental homes and hotels. They have even supplied a sitter to watch a dog whom the owners did not feel comfortable leaving alone in a strange house.

All of the sitters have been carefully selected, some are teachers at Island schools, some are honor students at the Regional High School, others college students, parents and summer residents.
A recent client was a family here for two weeks with two small children with early bedtimes. By calling this service gave the parents the chance to go out to dinner, movies and gallery hopping, "This made our vacation into more than time with the kids - we had time with each other" said the happy dad.

"We have been renting on the island for several years and are unable to consistently  locate a sitter for our grandchildren," said a grandmother of three from the Boston area. "The sitter came to the house the night we needed her and it made for an easy night out with our adult children. I am hosting a party later this summer and will call this service to help with my grandchildren and a few other visiting kids during the party."

MV Kid Sitters can also provide tutors to assist vacationers in keeping the kids stimulated and up to speed in their schoolwork.

M.V. Kid Sitters fills a need for seasonal Islanders
and their guests and so far the feedback has been terrific!
