Students Who Sit Takes Campus National | Durham News

A Duke student spotted a gap in babysitting platforms—impersonal and risky—and built Students Who Sit, a campus-focused app connecting students with families. Born in her dorm, it now boasts 1,200+ users at Duke and is expanding to UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State this fall, backed by a sleek new app and campus ambassadors. Inspired by her own babysitting experience and fueled by childhood entrepreneurial grit, Bernstein’s platform taps into trust through shared community ties. Demand is exploding—with waitlists forming at NYU and Columbia—showing how student-led innovation can scale nationwide, turning everyday needs into thriving campus solutions.
