Our story
Built by parents, for parents
LittleCare started with a problem we lived ourselves, finding childcare we could trust without the stress, the guesswork, and the endless phone calls.
Years caring
for families
Why we exist
Care that feels like family
A few years ago, we were the parents refreshing sitter sites at midnight, calling around, and still feeling unsure about who we were leaving our children with. We knew there had to be a better way.
So we built LittleCare, a place where every sitter is carefully vetted, every booking is simple, and every family can feel genuinely at ease. Today, we connect thousands of families with sitters who treat their children like their own.
We’re still parents first. That’s why we hold every sitter to the standard we’d want for our own families.

What we believe
The values we care about
The first idea
Two parents, frustrated with finding trustworthy sitters, sketched out what would become LittleCare on a kitchen table.
Our first 100 families
We launched in our home city with a small group of carefully vetted sitters and a promise to keep safety first.
Growing with care
We expanded to new cities while keeping our vetting standards high. Word spread, mostly from parents telling other parents.
Thousands of families
Now we help thousands of families find care they trust, with the same values we started with on that kitchen table.
Good to know
