Childcare Shouldn't
Break the Bank
A community-based platform where parents find each other to share sitters, exchange babysitting, and schedule playdates — making childcare affordable for everyone. All members are background-checked, so you can focus on finding your village.
Membership is $20/month — less than one hour of babysitting. We use it to cover background checks and keep the platform safe for every family.

Three Ways to Save
A Mom Exchange is building real solutions for the childcare crisis — starting right here in Traverse City.
Sitter Share
Why pay full rates when you can share a sitter? Find another family on the platform, split the cost, and both save. Your kids get a playmate, your wallet gets a break.
The Mom Exchange
Trade babysitting hours with trusted parents in your area. You watch their kids Tuesday, they watch yours Thursday. No money changes hands — just mutual support.
Play Dates
New to TC or just need mom friends? Browse local parents and set up playdates. Your kids make friends, and so do you. It takes a village — let's build one.
How It Works
Create your profile
Sign up and tell us about your family — kids' ages, your neighborhood, your schedule, and what you're looking for.
Browse & connect
Search for families near you based on location and kids' ages. Reach out to the ones that seem like a great fit.
Start exchanging
Set up sitter shares, childcare swaps, or playdates on your own terms. We handle the platform and background checks — you build the relationships.
Safety is Non-Negotiable
Your family's safety comes first. Always.
