Reassurance, Around
the Clock.

"To enhance quality of life by providing reliable, dignified and personalised support that fosters independence and community connection."

Whether you need someone present for a few daytime hours or through the night, our sitting service provides attentive, calm supervision — giving clients comfort and peace of mind, and giving families the reassurance that their loved ones are never truly alone.

☀️  Daytime Sitting
☀️

Support During the Day

Daytime sitting provides attentive, flexible supervision and companionship during the day — whether for a few hours in the morning, a full day's cover, or anything in between. It keeps clients safe, comfortable and engaged while family members rest or attend to other commitments.

Flexible Hours — Mornings, Afternoons or Full Days
Arrange exactly the hours you need — from a two-hour morning session to a full-day presence, on a regular or occasional basis.
Supervision & Reassurance
A calm, attentive presence ensures the client is safe, comfortable and not left alone — reducing anxiety for both client and family.
Light Engagement & Company
Our sitters naturally provide conversation, companionship and light assistance — making the experience warm and human, not clinical.
Carer Respite Cover
Ideal for family carers who need to rest, attend appointments or simply step away for a few hours with complete peace of mind.

Security Through the Night

Night sitting offers a reliable, trustworthy presence throughout the night — so clients sleep soundly and families rest easy, knowing someone responsible is always there. Available as an awake night sit or a sleeping-night option depending on the level of supervision required.

Awake Night Sitting
Your sitter remains awake throughout the night, actively monitoring the client, responding to any needs and providing immediate reassurance.
Sleeping-Night Sitting
Your sitter sleeps lightly on the premises and is available to assist if needed — providing reassurance without unnecessary disturbance.
Support for Nighttime Confusion
For those with dementia or conditions that cause nighttime disorientation, a calm night sitter provides comfort and gentle redirection.
Family Rest & Recovery
Night sits allow family carers to sleep properly — protecting their own health and wellbeing so they can continue caring effectively long-term.

Who We Support

Sitting Support Is For Many Situations

There is no single profile for those who benefit from day or night sitting. Our service reaches individuals and families at a wide range of life stages across South East London.

🧠
Those Living With Dementia

People living with dementia often experience increased anxiety, nighttime confusion and a need for a consistent, calming presence. Our sitting service provides exactly that — familiar faces, gentle routines and quiet reassurance around the clock.

Dementia Nighttime Confusion Sundowning
🏥
Those Recovering From Illness or Surgery

Returning home after a hospital stay can be daunting and risky if the person cannot be left alone safely. Day and night sits bridge the gap between hospital care and full independence, offering attentive support exactly when it is needed most.

Post-Hospital Post-Surgery Recovery
👨‍👩‍👦
Family Carers Needing Rest

Family members who care for loved ones are at high risk of exhaustion, particularly if they are managing overnight needs. Day and night sits give family carers the rest they need — knowing their loved one is in safe, professional hands.

Carer Respite Family Relief Burnout Prevention
Peace of Mind

When You Can't Be There,
We Are.

One of the most difficult aspects of caring for a loved one is not being able to be present at all times. Our day and night sitting service provides a consistent, trusted presence — so you can attend to your own life, rest and recover, knowing everything is under control.

"The most valuable thing a sitting service can provide is not just presence — it is the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone who genuinely cares is there."

Night Sitting Options

Choosing the Right Night Sit for Your Needs

We offer two types of overnight sitting — choose based on the level of supervision your loved one requires. Not sure? Our advisors will guide you through the options during your free assessment.

👁️
Active Overnight Support
Awake Night Sitting

Your sitter remains fully awake throughout the night, actively monitoring the client and ready to assist immediately at any point. Ideal for those with higher overnight needs — frequent disturbances, fall risk, complex conditions or significant nighttime anxiety.

Sitter remains awake for the entire sit — no sleeping
Immediate, active response to any need or disturbance
Ideal for those with dementia, fall risk or high-frequency needs
Full handover report provided in the morning
😴
Light Overnight Presence
Sleeping Night Sitting

Your sitter sleeps lightly on the premises and is available to assist if needed. The client can rest knowing someone is there, and the sitter responds readily if called upon — without the cost or intensity of a full awake-night arrangement.

Sitter sleeps on the premises — available if the client calls
Provides reassurance without constant active supervision
Ideal for those who are generally settled but should not be alone
More affordable than an awake-night arrangement

Client Stories

What Our Families Say About Us

"

We were desperately tired from the overnight needs with Dad. Spring Point found a wonderful night sitter who not only kept him safe — she gave our whole family the first proper sleep we'd had in months. Truly transformative.

Daughter of client · Blackheath, London
"

After my stroke I wasn't able to be left alone, but I also didn't want to go into a care home. The daytime sitting through Spring Point gave me independence at home and gave my son the peace of mind to go back to work.

★★★★★

Gerald M.
Client · Greenwich, London
"

Mum has dementia and the nights had become very difficult for all of us. The awake night sitter Spring Point introduced was calm, experienced and — most importantly — Mum actually took to her. That made all the difference.
