What's the Company Culture Like at Sittercity?
What People Are Saying About Sittercity
-
Cultural Alignment: A clear, caregiving mission—“make child care work”—is consistently emphasized and attracts people motivated by impact in care and community. Trust-and-safety and responsible product decisions are highlighted as core to how work gets done.
-
Collaborative & Supportive Culture: Teams are portrayed as inclusive, positive, and supportive, with management providing resources, flexibility, and remote-friendly practices to enable effective work. Connection opportunities and people-focused programs reinforce a supportive day-to-day environment.
-
Fun, Rituals & Connection: Intentional remote rituals—regular all-hands with open Q&A, small-group virtual lunches, shout-out channels, and celebrations—are used to build connection across distributed teams. These practices are framed as deliberate culture scaffolding rather than ad-hoc perks.
