Rocket City Sitters now makes busy parents’ lives easier by providing access to short-term childcare from professional, certified sitters. No more scrambling to get the neighborhood kid down the street, burdening friends and family, or agonizing over daycare hours.
“Rocket City Sitters was established to bring together qualified sitters and families needing short-term childcare in Huntsville, Madison County and surrounding areas,” says owner Adrienne Stephens. “We’ve gone the extra mile to make sure parents get only the best sitters, all of whom have proper certification and experience.”

Parents should call Rocket City Sitters at (256) 272-1727 or visit the website at www.RocketCitySitters.com to get started by filling out a family information form.
