Founded by a Boise Mom · Now Accepting Members

I built the backup childcare service I wish I had.

I'm Anush — a Boise mom with a 2-year-old and a 9-month-old, juggling a full-time executive job. I love our daycare and our nanny, but life happens — snow days, weekends, sick days, date nights. And when it does, finding reliable backup care shouldn't be this hard.

Two-sided vetting. Because trust goes both ways.

Most platforms only check caregivers. We screen everyone — families included.

Caregiver Background Checks

Every caregiver passes a comprehensive background check including criminal history and sex offender registry before joining the pool.

Family Screening

Families complete an application, interview, and registry check. Our caregivers never walk into an unvetted home.

Personal Interviews

We interview every caregiver and every family by phone or video. No faceless profiles — we know our community.

Two-Way Ratings

After every booking, both sides rate the experience. Consistent quality stays. Issues get addressed immediately.

No surprises. No hidden fees.

One-time registration covers your vetting. Monthly membership gives you access to the entire caregiver pool.

Hi, I'm Anush.

I have two boys — a 2-year-old in a daycare we love and a 9-month-old with a wonderful full-time nanny. I also have a full-time executive job. But even with great childcare, there are gaps — snow days, holidays, weekends, sick days, evenings out. No single arrangement covers everything.

When those gaps hit, I'm stranded. I've missed outings, events, and work obligations because I couldn't find reliable backup help fast enough. I've sent dozens of Care.com messages that went completely unanswered.

So I built The Village — a small, local network where I personally vet every caregiver and every family. No algorithms. No corporate nonsense. Just a real community of people who show up for each other.

Because it takes a village — and I got tired of waiting for one to exist.

It takes a village. Let's build yours.

I'm accepting founding members in the Boise area. Small on purpose. Personal by design.
