AI Assistant

Hi! What kind of child care are you looking for?

I need someone to pick up both kids from school on Mondays and Wednesdays at 2:30, drop Aiden at soccer, take Sofia to ballet from 3:30 to 4:30, then circle back to pick up Aiden and help with homework til I'm home. They'll need their own car.

Got it. What date do you need them to start?

August 17th.

Perfect. We'll find trusted nannies to handle your after school routine.

Type or say your care need

Prefer to talk instead of type?

Go for it. Type your child care needs or say them out loud. Use whichever feels easiest.

Backed by families in your community

Once your search is ready, you can connect with babysitters and nannies trusted by families in your community. You'll see recommendations from people connected to you, including neighbors, friends, coworkers, and parents from your kids' school.

✔ Background checked babysitters and nannies
✔ Reviews from local families
✔ Book and pay directly in the app
✔ Full-time, part-time, ongoing, or last-minute child care

We know how complicated it can be to get started, especially when you're not sure you'll find someone who really fits your family's needs. That's why we built the AI Assistant. To make one more part of parenting feel a little easier.

The AI Assistant is in beta. This is the first of several things we’re building to make finding child care easier, and we’d love your feedback as it grows. Tell us what you think at [email protected].
