London parent who believes in strong neighbourhood networks. Full-time dad and passionate about community childcare.

Top hostSophie M.
Primary school teacher
Primary school teacher and trained first-aider. Has worked with children professionally for 12 years.
“As a teacher I'm home by 4pm most days — I bank credits in the week and spend them on weekends. It just works.”
Founder memberJames K.

Architect and weekend cook. Believes strongly in neighbourhood networks and community childcare.
“We'd been meaning to find a regular sitter for months. Within a week of joining we'd already done three playdates and our first night out.”
A members-only babysitting exchange
Babysit
Look after kids in your neighbourhood. You choose when and how often.
Earn credits
Every hour you give earns credits. Peak hours earn even more.
Spend freely
Use credits to book a sitter — next door, or in another city on holiday.
Credits flex with demand
Friday nights are prime time. Peak slots cost more credits to book — and earn more credits to cover. Supply and demand, the fair way.

Example: 3 hrs babysitting on Friday evening = 6 credits. 3 hrs on a Tuesday afternoon = 3 credits. Babysit at peak times to build your balance faster.
£199/year
Everything included. No tiers, no add-ons.
That's £3.83/week — less than a flat white. One agency babysitter evening in London costs £60–£90. This pays for itself after 2 date nights.
Founding members get 20% off their first year.
