Pitch

Pitch

We invite you to be a part of our revolution. A babysitting app which will, change the way parents and babysitters interact.

When it comes to finding a babysitter, parents seek the recommendation of a friend. We leverage a parent’s social networking in conjunction with our "proprietary matching technology" to provide babysitter recommendations from their trusted circle of Facebook friends, family, and parents from school. Convenience is also a key for time-stricken parents, so we have built a real-time booking engine and integrated online payment, so parents can book and pay a sitter at the click of the button.

Heading back home from a night out and need to pay the babysitter when you get home? Say goodbye to stopping at the ATM or rounding ridiculous amounts. Babysitting App. is revolutionizing the payment process with a credit card digital payment option, Monetizing from a minor transaction fee.  With a small transaction fee, our app will be a dominant player in a market of Billions of dollars.

Babysitting app comes to meet the daily need, sometimes an "on the spot" need, of parents who seek a reliable and accessible babysitter who lives close by (the app is location based).

With parent profiles on one side and the sitters on the other, our app connects the parents to the relevant babysitter, and enables tracking of tasks, direct payment and increased security of the parents when they leave their children with the babysitter (the app uses Facebook connect, so the parents can seek recommendations of the relevant babysitter through their close circle of friends).
