History

Established in 2003.

The Sitter Connection was founded in Dayton in 2003 as a home-​based business by Jill Kingston when she decided to stay at home to raise her children. She quickly found out how difficult it was to find caring, reliable and trustworthy babysitters. After finding a few excellent babysitters, The Sitter Connection was formed.
