2021Where it started

From 5 sitters to a movement.

Hi, I'm Mia Fusco — the founder of Sewickley Valley Sitters. I never imagined I'd be a babysitter, let alone running a business. But when I was just 14 and a freshman in high school, I started SVS with a small group of five local sitters.

What began as a neighborhood side gig has grown into something I'm truly proud of: a team of 40+ dedicated sitters who have worked with over 260 families right here in the Sewickley area.

"I now attend the University of Notre Dame — six hours from home — but leaving for college was never going to mean leaving Sewickley Valley Sitters behind."

To keep the business growing the right way, I partnered with the tech startup Ringlet to build a dedicated app for SVS — so families can connect with our sitters more seamlessly than ever.

Our sitter team is rooted in the Quaker Valley community:

Majority attend Quaker Valley High School QV graduates available primarily in summer

Care for every family.

With 40+ sitters of varying experience and specialties, we can accommodate a wide range of needs — from a quick errand run to a full day out.

Infant & Toddler Care

We have sitters experienced with children from 10 months and up — gentle, attentive, and great at keeping the littlest ones happy and safe.

Kids Up to Age 13

Our sitters are comfortable with children of all ages up to 13 — outdoor play, creative activities, and engaged companionship for every stage.

Flexible Scheduling

No minimum hours required. We've done jobs as short as 45 minutes and as long as 8 hours. We work around your schedule.

Multiple Kids

Larger families are no problem. Sitter rates reflect family size, and we'll match you with someone experienced managing multiple children at once.
