Parents are burnt out. Sitters are undervalued. And most childcare platforms are as exciting as cold coffee.
So we built something different.
The Village Co. blends agency-level trust with marketplace freedom..... and a healthy dose of real life wit.
Every sitter is vetted, insured by us and human (yep, that’s the standard).
Every parent gets peace of mind, not another app headache.
This isn’t about last-minute fixes, it’s about planned breathing room.
We started The Village Co. because we were done pretending to do it all.
We didn’t just need a babysitter. We needed backup.
So we built it. Two Waikato mums - 4 children and a modern, human-first network for parents and sitters who want something better.
