Founded by students for students.

On campus, parents struggled to find safe, trusted sitters. Simultaneously, students needed flexible work opportunities to help cover college expenses. We saw a need, so we built a solution.

Parents needed trusted sitters, students needed flexible jobs. We saw the gap and built the solution.
