The Wedding Sitter

The Wedding Sitter provides premium wedding childcare across Wānaka, Queenstown, Central Otago and beyond, so parents can truly relax and celebrate while their little ones are safe, happy, and having just as much fun.

Founded by career nanny and psychology student Sophie Martin, The Wedding Sitter was created with one simple belief: children deserve a memorable experience too.

Whether it's keeping little ones entertained during the ceremony, helping with family photos, supervising dinner, or settling sleepy guests into bed, our experienced and carefully selected sitters provide seamless care tailored to each family.

Every sitter is police checked, reference checked, and genuinely loves working with children. We take the time to understand routines, personalities, allergies, and any additional needs so that parents can feel completely at ease.

From intimate elopements to large celebrations, we work alongside couples, planners, and venues to create a calm, joyful experience for everyone involved.

Because when parents can be fully present, children are cared for, and everyone gets to celebrate together, the day becomes even more special.
