NannyNow

NannyNow is a mobile + web app that helps working parents and employers secure last-minute backup childcare with less chaos. Parents submit a request (time, location, kids’ ages, special needs, budget), and the app matches them with pre-vetted caregivers who are actually available now—not “maybe.” It includes rapid ID verification, reference checks, and a short skills checklist (infant care, CPR, allergies, autism experience). For employers, it offers a simple benefit portal to subsidize a set number of backup hours per employee and track utilization without exposing family details. The AI layer helps triage requests, rank caregiver fit, and flag risk signals (inconsistent profiles, last-minute cancellations). This is not a marketplace trying to be everything; it’s narrowly focused on urgent, short-notice coverage when school closes, a sitter cancels, or a parent gets called into work.
