“Being a mom is the hardest job you’ll ever love”. My own mom said this to me after my daughter was born and her words have become more true by the day.

From the moment I held my daughter, I knew this job was what I was meant to do. I love being a mom. So much of my life has changed in the last few years because of this new role, but there is a part of me that has not changed—my desire to lead a healthy, active lifestyle.

Prior to my daughter’s birth, I regularly attended spin and yoga classes, enjoying the time for “just me” in the midst of a hectic schedule. Those times were a workout, therapy, and a stress reliever all in one. I know I don’t have to tell you Mamas that carving out that “me” time after my daughter was born became nearly impossible. Why? There was no clear and simple solution for her care during this hour I needed for myself. Hire a sitter? Costly and inconvenient as many require a minimum number of hours or wage. Mother’s Day Out? Too big of a time commitment for what I needed (or wanted). Rely on my husband? His working hours were long and largely unpredictable, not to mention I always like to maximize my time with him when he is home.

There was only one answer to meet my need: bring my own child care solution to these businesses.

And that was the beginning of Studio Sitter.

Studio Sitter is an on-demand child care solution that allows parents the opportunity to maintain their busy and active lifestyles by creating a safe space for their children to be cared for on site while they enjoy their favorite workout or attend a much-needed appointment.

We are bringing you this service in three simple steps.

• Book Online: View our calendar online – by time or location, select the best option and book your child’s reservation, just as you do your spot in a workout class or hair appointment. The first time you log into our system, you will complete a profile for yourself and your child, including pertinent contact and health information. Subsequent reservations can be made with a simple log in for a quick, seamless booking experience.
• Check in your Child: Upon arriving for your class or appointment, you will check your child in at our fully equipped trailer – our mobile playroom – parked outside of the business. Our playroom will have two Sitters, activities, games and toys geared towards children aging 3 months to 6 years of age; unique verification codes given to each child and parent at check in, as well as video surveillance, to ensure the security and safety of your children.
• Enjoy your Favorite Workout Class or Appointment: Once your child is checked in, you can go sweat it out or get that blowout, knowing your little one is being cared for right on site. We are also excited to promote the healthy, active lifestyle you are modeling for your child by introducing them to activities and games that are safe, fun, educational and health-focused.

We are so excited to finally be bringing this solution to all of you Austin mamas with the hope that you can take back some of that much needed (and deserved!) “me time”! Buy your package today and help us at Studio Sitter make our vision a reality: Child Care for Everywhere!
