Parents with young children, like Jon and Stacy, struggle to find available and affordable childcare when they need it.
Our business model creates a network of reliable care providers with various rates, credentials, and availability. Parents can build out their network based on personal experience with a sitter, recommendations from friends and family, etc.
Similarly, care providers of all circumstances and backgrounds will be able to integrate into these networks, manage their business, access to ongoing care education, and 24/7 support, including safety assistance.

Our other customers are daycare centers and child-focused businesses. Daycares are looking to advertise care services and availability to parents. Child-focused businesses are looking to advertise activities for children of all ages and find qualified care providers who are looking for part-time or summer work.

Background Check Office
Our solution will only succeed with a state of the art web and mobile experience so we will need to have strong technology infrastructure
