Website Care Plans by WP Babysitter

Reliable WordPress maintenance for small businesses, nonprofits, creators, and agencies — from your Northampton-area neighbor.

Whether you built your site yourself, inherited it from a volunteer, or handed it off after launch — keeping it running smoothly shouldn’t fall on you. WP Babysitter has been caring for WordPress websites since 2011. Pick the plan that fits where you are.

Website Care
WP Babysitter Basic Service

Look after my site →

Protect My Site →

Best for: WooCommerce stores, membership sites, event sites, donation platforms, and any site with multiple contributors.

If your site takes payments or runs campaigns, downtime isn’t just annoying — it’s costly. This is the plan that makes sure you find out about problems before your customers do.

Website Care
WP Babysitter Deluxe Service

Extended services for high needs websites

For sites where downtime actually costs you money

Everything in Basic, plus daily backups, error monitoring, and monthly checkout testing — because your customers shouldn’t be the ones who tell you something’s broken.

  • Everything in Basic Service, plus:
  • Daily offsite database backups — never lose more than a day’s worth of data
  • Monthly checkout and form functionality testing — verified working, not just assumed
  • Error monitoring — caught and flagged before your visitors notice
  • Renewal monitoring for hosting, domains, plugins, and associated services
  • DMARC and visual regression monitoring

 

"Emily at WP Babysitter totally takes care of the constant code updates and malware attacks that impact my business' site. I can't imagine how much time I'd lose, frustration I'd gain and clients I'd p*ssed off if I tried to manage the technology running my website."*
Bucky Sparkle Leeds, MA

Website Care
WP Babysitter Custom Application Care

For websites with multiple layers of complexity, ecommerce, membership, custom applications and integrations

For complex sites with a lot of moving parts

Your site runs integrations, automations, or custom applications. This plan verifies it’s all actually working — end to end, not just on the surface.

  • Everything in Deluxe Service, plus:
  • API and integration monitoring — your connections to third-party services stay verified
  • Downstream behavior verification — buttons don’t just exist, they do what they’re supposed to
  • Dynamic template display monitoring for membership and course content
  • Newsletter delivery monitoring
  • CRM integration monitoring
"WP Babysitter enables me to place my full attention on my artistic work and content creation. There is never any opportunity for serious issues to arise because Emily is absolutely on top of the inner workings of every web presence she curates. I cannot recommend her and her services highly enough. Every creative with a web presence would do well to engage her for the long haul"

Let's talk about my site →

Best for: Course creators, membership communities, complex nonprofits with donor systems, and agency-built sites with multiple integrations.

If your site has moving parts that all need to work together — LMS, CRM, email platform, membership plugin — this plan verifies the whole stack, not just the surface.

All premium plugins and themes must be current and paid for before I can take on a site. Nulled plugins or those with known security vulnerabilities aren’t immediately eligible for WP Babysitter care — but if your site needs work to get to sturdy ground first, I can help with that with professional tools I trust at  fontaholic.biz.

The fine print...

Like any good babysitter, I know my limits!
