What is Klein Keepers?

Klein Keepers helps traveling families find a trusted babysitter while away from home. You can browse sitter profiles, talk to them in advance, and choose someone who feels right for your family.

What makes Klein Keepers different from hotel babysitting services?

Klein Keepers gives you more choice, more transparency, and more control.Instead of being assigned a babysitter at the last minute, you can browse a wide range of babysitters with different backgrounds, experience levels, and languages, and choose the one that feels right for your family. You can connect with babysitters before your trip, message them, and even have a video call to get to know them in advance.
