Support working parents in a practical way.

The Village Co helps employers offer babysitting support that parents use, giving families extra breathing room when life gets busy.

A family benefit that works.

Built for everyday life

School holidays, late meetings, events, or when usual plans fall over.

We help parents organise babysitting when they need an extra hand.

Easy for your team

We handle sitter onboarding, matching, payments, and support.

So there’s no extra admin for managers or HR.

Good for families, good for culture

Supporting parents in practical ways builds trust and creates workplaces where families actually feel considered.

How it works

You choose how to offer it

We’ll help design a setup that works for your team, whether that’s access only, subsidised bookings, or fully covered

Your employees get access

Staff receive a booking link and can start matching directly with sitters.

We handle the rest

We manage onboarding, matching, bookings, payments, and support and stay involved if anything changes.

What makes The Village Co different

Not a directory. Not a marketplace.

 

We don’t give parents a list of babysitters and wish them luck.

Parents tell us what they need and we help connect them with the right sitter for their family, with real humans behind the scenes.

 

That’s what makes it work.

 

Who this is for:

  • Teams with working parents

  • Small businesses and growing companies

  • Organisations wanting a meaningful family benefit

  • Employers who care about supporting people in real ways

  • If your team includes parents — this fits.


How does this work for our team?

You share a booking link with your employees. Parents tell us what they need, and we help match them with a sitter. We handle onboarding, matching, payments, and support — your team doesn’t need to manage the day-to-day.


 

How quickly can we get started?

Usually within days, depending on your setup.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on how you’d like to offer the benefit (access only, subsidised, or fully covered). Book a chat and we’ll walk through options, no pressure.


 

Do employers pay for bookings?

That’s up to you. Some employers fully fund bookings, others subsidise, and some simply provide access. We’ll help you choose a setup that fits your team and budget.

 

Who supports parents and sitters?

We do. Parents and sitters deal directly with The Village Co, not your internal team. We stay involved if plans change or anyone needs help.


Is this suitable for small teams?

Yes - we work with businesses of all sizes. If you have working parents, this can make a real difference.

 

 


Can this work across multiple locations?

Yes. We currently support families across multiple regions and are expanding nationally.
