“Forstter gave our crisis unit a single place to request a sitter, see who’s coming, and close the case with a clean hand-off record.”

John • Crisis Unit Director • Kansas

“The hand-off tracker changed our nights. Charge nurses stop calling around — they just open the case and see exactly where the client is.”

Jeff • Nurse Manager • Regional Hospital

“I pick the jobs that fit my schedule. The checklist tells me exactly what to do, and I know my pay before I accept.”

Emanuel • Forstter: Sitter • Topeka, KS

Know where your client is — and who they’re with

From the moment a sitter is assigned to the moment your client is handed off, your organization sees exactly what’s happening.

Safety & compliance

Certified sitters. Inspected vehicles. Every single job.

Sitters train and stay certified in the Sitter App, and every vehicle is inspected and validated before it can carry a client. If anything lapses, dispatch stops automatically.

See how we vet sitters ↗
Sitter training

Trained and certified in the Sitter App

Every sitter completes required courses before their first job — and keeps them current.

Courses built for crisis work

KDADS crisis intervention, de-escalation and youth supervision — with video lessons and key points.

Renewals tracked automatically

Each certification has a renewal cycle and due date, so nothing quietly expires.

Policies acknowledged, by version

New policy versions must be reviewed and accepted before a sitter can take new assignments.

Lapsed training blocks new jobs

A sitter with a lapsed certification can’t accept a job until the training is complete.

Vehicle compliance

Every vehicle checked before it carries a client

The vehicle module keeps every sitter’s car inspected, documented and validated as safe to transport.

Safety inspection checklist

Seat belts, child locks, tires, brakes, first-aid kit and more — signed off by our compliance team.

Documents verified

Registration, insurance and driver license on file, with expiry dates tracked.

Out of date means out of dispatch

A vehicle with a failed inspection or expired document is blocked until it’s fixed.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can we get a sitter?

Most referrals are matched with a trained, background-checked sitter shortly after you post. You’ll see who accepted and their ETA right in your Organization Portal.

Who are Forstter sitters?

Sitters apply through the Sitter App, complete required training such as KDADS crisis intervention and de-escalation, and pass a background check. Anyone doing transport also registers a vehicle that must pass our safety inspection.

What services can we request?

Crisis transport, a sit at a hospital or facility, or transport with sitting. You pick the service type when you post a referral.

How do guardians follow a case?

Guardians are reps from your organization with accounts linked to your organization account. They sign in to the Organization Portal to see live status, the sitter’s details and ETA, and they get an update at each milestone.

How does Forstter support KDADS compliance?

Forstter is built around KDADS standards: required training with renewal tracking, versioned policies every sitter must accept, vehicle inspections, and a timestamped hand-off record for every job.

Which areas do you serve?

Forstter currently serves Kansas DCF catchment Areas 2, 3 and 7.

How do I become a sitter and get paid?

Download the Sitter App, apply, complete your training and background check, and register your vehicle for inspection. Every job shows the pay before you accept it.
