UrbanSitter

For millions of busy parents across the US, finding a reliable babysitter is a daunting task. UrbanSitter is the first all-in-one solution—a hyper efficient childcare marketplace where parents meet and book sitters. Our premise is simple, when it comes to finding a babysitter, parents just want the recommendation of a friend. We leverage a parent’s social graph 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 key for time-stricken parents, so we’ve built built a real-time booking engine and integrated online payment, so parents can book a sitter at the click of the button. UrbanSitter was recently named 2014 Best Consumer Application or Service in the San Francisco Business Times Technology and Innovation Awards.
