Working parents do not get to pause when childcare falls apart.

We match you with a background-checked, CPR-certified caregiver fast, so you can keep your day on track.
📍 Local Insight
Florida's school calendar is full of teacher planning days and early-release days, and hurricane season can close schools and daycares with little warning. Families who save their details with us can rebook a backup caregiver in minutes when those closures hit.

For the Days Your Plan A Falls Apart

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get emergency childcare in South Florida?▼
Most backup and emergency bookings confirm within 30–60 minutes of payment. Requests submitted before 6pm have the highest same-day match rate across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade.
Can a sitter watch my child if daycare is closed?▼
Yes. Daycare closures, teacher planning days, and weather days are some of our most common bookings. A vetted caregiver can cover the gap at your home, same-day when available.
My regular sitter just cancelled — can you help right now?▼
That is exactly what we are built for. Submit a booking and we broadcast it to all qualified caregivers nearby immediately, with most confirmations arriving within the hour.
Is backup care more expensive because it's last-minute?▼
No. Our flat-rate packages are identical regardless of how far ahead you book — Silver is $250 for 4 hours whether it is planned or an emergency. No urgency surcharges.
Can you care for a mildly ill child who can't attend daycare?▼
For mild illness when a child simply cannot attend daycare, share the details in your booking notes and we will match a caregiver comfortable with the situation. For anything beyond mild symptoms, please consult your pediatrician first.
