It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Back-to-school season is around the corner and families are gearing up for the annual task of organizing new fall school schedules, extracurricular activities and weekend planning. If you’re like most moms & dads, a bench of trusted babysitters is crucial to maintaining your schedule and sanity, individually and as a family. Word of mouth, babysitter agencies, babysitting apps and online marketplaces are the go-to tools for modern families on the hunt for great childcare options. Curated Care, a creative childcare marketplace & babysitting app, is back this Fall with an increased number of vetted “Kid Expert” sitters available to book in Los Angeles and New York City.

Aiming to remove all the labor of finding new sitters, teachers and tutors for busy LA families, co-founders Erin McConaghy and Marlene Veloso sought to create a platform where finding childcare felt good and easy (all Kid Experts infuse their unique, creative backgrounds into sessions and you can find, book and pay them all through the site or app).

“Creating a marketplace of talented, inspired artists and teachers was a goal for us early on,” says co-founder Erin McConaghy, “We are moms and former artists and teachers, and believed in the notion that everyone’s time matters. If we could help families secure the best possible child care, provide a way for artists and teachers to share their skill sets and provide an opportunity for kids to be engaged during babysitting time, it would be a win-win-win.”

Curated Care has long promoted the idea that it truly takes a village, and aims to help families curate theirs while helping Kid Experts connect with theirs. Built by artists, teachers and moms, Curated Care is a creative child care community where reference checked and background checked artists and teachers can market their individual, souped up babysitting services. Families can easily find & book these babysitting artists & teachers, “Kid Experts”, directly through the app. Tools like easy scheduling, instant messaging, and online payment through the app make tapping into your “village” easier and more secure. The best ack-to-school season is calling – answer it with Curated Care!
