That’s why we’ve combined concierge-level childcare with curated date night planning to support your whole family’s emotional and social needs in one thoughtful experience.

With trusted sitters your kids adore and evenings out designed just for you, we make connection simple, joyful, and stress-free.

“Simone is the absolute best. We met her when we were first touring preschools, and immediately knew she was someone we wanted our child to be around. Her approach to imaginative play and early childhood education is magical and creates a safe, nurturing, and positive atmosphere for any kid to thrive. She was a godsend to our family when we needed extra help during the pandemic, and our daughter, now a fourth grader, always looks forward to evenings when Simone comes to babysit.”
