Yes, there is a website for vetted babysitters. I used to work for a company that 'hired out' babysitters for weddings and things, so like you'd be booked for say a wedding where your job was to look after the kid(s) while the party was going on. Depending on how many kids there were, you could book more than one worker and everyone had to be SSSC registered (a legal requirement for working with children in Scotland, but if you're in another country they'll have the same thing just under a different name), qualified to level 3 (so have done three years of childcare training at college) and PVG checked (which I believe is called a DBS in England). I can give you the website if you're interested, not sure if I'm allowed to post it here because of the rules x
