Who are Birdie Sitters?
Birdie sitters are interested in changing the way we approach childcare. Birdie sitters contribute to a healthy family dynamic by empowering parents to take the much-needed breaks they require to rejuvenate and be better parents (datenights, self-love pampering time, breaks with friends, vacations with the kids but wanting an adult night out etc).
