Built for the in-between moments.

Not a nanny agency. Not a free-for-all app. Just dependable, occasional care from people your kids get to know, whenever life needs a few extra hands.

  • Friday, 6 to 10

    Date night

    Dinner in town, a show in Boston, or just a quiet table for two.

  • Tuesday, 10 to noon

    A daytime appointment

    Two hours for the dentist, a haircut, or a parent-teacher meeting.

  • Wednesday, 1 to 5

    A few hours to work

    Coverage for a deadline, a call block, or a school vacation week.

  • Saturday, whenever

    Breathing room

    A walk on the beach, a nap, a coffee with a friend. No reason required.

A sitter in three simple steps.

Familiar faces, not strangers at the door.

Save the sitters your kids adore and ask for them again. Every sitter in the crew has been interviewed and reference-checked by our team, and their profile shows exactly what they’ve completed.

Crew Crafts

Simple, seasonal projects that turn a few household supplies into an afternoon of watercolor lighthouses, paper sailboats, and autumn leaf rubbings.

  1. 1

    You stock the supplies

    Each activity has a short supply list: paper, crayons, paint. Have them on hand before the booking.

  2. 2

    Your sitter knows what to do

    Every sitter is trained on the activity library during orientation, so they arrive with ideas.

  3. 3

    The kids stay happily busy

    Age-appropriate, screen-free, and easy to clean up.

Completely optional. Activities only happen when you’ve asked for them and the supplies are ready. For infants, routines always come first.

Activities for every season: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.
