Have you ever think of babysitting goes online one day? It is now.

It’s our new reality. Children are out of school and underfoot as parents log into Zoom meetings and respond to work emails. In order to adhere to social distancing guidelines, parents are turning to virtual babysitters to help them get a few uninterrupted minutes to concentrate on work.

Elizabeth Harz is CEO of Sittercity, an online resource that connects parents with sitters. Harz says that as a result of the stay-at-home directions, demand for virtual babysitters has increased 700% in the last month and is continuing to grow.
