Hello Sitter is now my newest baby and the idea was born from real life experience. Time and time again I would find myself in need of last minute childcare and time and time again I could not find it. I thought to myself, why can I not have an app where I can request the best sitters right when I need them. No waiting for them to tell me if they’re available. No having to search and see if they’ve had background checks. No minimum time. No cancelling my plans. This isn’t available? Well, I’m going to make it available.
Here at Hello Sitter, we believe in last minute invitations and impromptu plans. In me-time and we-time and in not choosing between staying home and making that presentation you’ve been working on for months, just because your nanny called in sick. We believe in spontaneity and saying yes.
To know that I have created something that helps fellow parents brings me great joy. To know that you can have peace of mind, which in turn allows you to be fully present in whatever you are doing, truly brings me happiness.
