We are building a better way to access high quality childcare. We match families together based on schedule and unique preferences across 200+ parameters to share the cost of private childcare. Our customers are families whose only financially viable access to childcare was daycare. Our product will make private childcare 25-50% less expensive and 50% more accessible to families across the country.

A few stats that motivate our mission:

Parents had a hard time finding care for their kids long before Covid hit — in one 2018 survey, 83 percent of parents of children under 5 said finding affordable, quality care in their area was a serious problem, according to the Center for American Progress.

As of 2018, over 41 million workers between the ages of 18 and 64 were caring for a child under the age of 18, according to the Brookings Institution. Nearly 34 million of those were caring for a child under 14.

In one survey of 2,557 working parents conducted between May 10 and June 22 2020, 13 percent of parents cut back hours or quit work entirely due to child care problems, the Washington Post reported.
