- Monthly membership fees to browse
- Per-message or contact unlock fees

How Our Village Works
No paywalls. No lengthy applications. No hidden fees. Just fast, flexible childcare when you need it.
Download & Post Your Need
Create your free parent profile and post what kind of help you need — no paywall, no membership required to get started.
Match with Vetted Providers
Browse background-checked local sitters across DFW. Read verified reviews from other families in your community before booking.
Book & Pay Only for Care
No ongoing commitments, no contracts. Simply book when you need help and pay only for the hours your family actually uses.
Affordable shouldn't mean less safe
Our Village removes platform overhead — not safety standards. Every provider is vetted before they can access a single job posting.
Providers with verified background checks receive a gold badge on their profile. Those without completed verification cannot apply to jobs on the platform — period.
Mandatory Background Checks
Every provider completes background verification before applying to any job. No exceptions — no background check, no access.
Providers Pay for Their Own Verification
Providers invest in their own background checks — demonstrating real accountability and commitment to the families they serve.
Community Reviews & Ratings
Read verified reviews from other DFW families before booking. Local accountability builds real trust across the community.
Zero-Tolerance Safety Policy
Providers with disqualifying records — theft, assault, sexual misconduct — are permanently removed. Plus active support if issues ever arise.
