Our History

Need A Sitter, Inc. was founded in 1990, by Colleen Capstick as a premier word-of-mouth babysitting referral company. Colleen recognized a specific need in the market — a resource to help families connect with reliable babysitters. Need A Sitter was the first babysitting referral company in Memphis, Tenn., and is now expanding to Jackson, TN. It offers clients a unique user experience, allowing for customizable requests for short-term placements with high-quality sitters. Need A Sitter has built a reputation of quality through the use of proprietary, expert systems and an ever-growing network of childcare providers. For nearly three decades, Need A Sitter has thrived in the Memphis area. Now, the company is expanding by offering franchise opportunities throughout the United States. Need A Sitter is excited to share its business model with motivated women leaders looking to provide income for their family.

Chelsea Edwards, Operator

Chelsea, the operator for Need A Sitter Jackson, is a lover of all things Jackson. She has lived in Jackson since 2003, and feels blessed to raise her children in this growing city that still feels like a small town. She has two little ones, Ruby and Jack, along with 2 cats and a dog. Chelsea and her children are very active in their church; and when not at church, you can probably find Chelsea at CrossFit.

Knowing Jackson will benefit from the reliability and trustworthiness of Need A Sitter, Chelsea is looking forward to pairing families in need with Need A Sitter services for years to come.  She feels her ability to connect with people in various circles will help build the Need A Sitter family. 

“My favorite part about being a mom is watching my kids develop their own little relationship. Every day, they learn new things, including how to connect with each other. It’s so sweet!” – Chelsea
