FAQ’s & Helpful Videos


What is Virtual Babysitters Club (VBC)?

VBC is an online virtual platform that connects families with professional performers to keep kids ages 3-12 engaged in live and interactive virtual activities. 

How is Virtual Babysitters Club (VBC) different?

Virtual Babysitters Club (VBC) has invented a much-needed and new form of interactive child entertainment. We offer what you need: healthy and engaging kid-centered entertainment to give you worry-free time to get things done. Our programs are specifically designed to provide engaging entertainment and creative learning opportunities for different age groups. Parents can rest easy with this healthier alternative to mind-numbing, passive video games, movies, and TV. VBC connects parents-at-home with top-tier performers who come right to your screen to entertain your child. From one-on-one sessions to small group sessions VBC can offer you a variety of options for virtual “sitting”. A dash of world-class entertainment is always guaranteed! 

How do I know my child is safe?

Virtual Babysitters Club provides trustworthy comfort for busy working parents. Parents can monitor their child during the session via mobile device. Safety is of the utmost importance, so please remember, that although virtual babysitting is a fantastic opportunity to engage children during these times, no virtual sitter can be 100% responsible for them remotely through a screen.

What safety measures has VBC taken in selecting performers who will be interacting with my child?

Virtual Babysitters Club’s (VBC) top priority is the safety of our participants. We have vetted every one of our performers personally. Not only must all VBC performers complete the onboarding process by our staff, but they must pass a background check by our partnered company Selection (www.Selection.com.) This way we can ensure that all our Virtual Babysitters Club performers are of the best quality possible.
