About this app

Upwards connects thousands of families every day with the best local caregivers to provide safe, affordable, high quality childcare.

As the nation's most loved network of vetted, licensed, and background checked caregivers, Upwards provides families a stress-free way to discover, meet, and book childcare with the best, parent-reviewed care providers in their area.

FIND THE PERFECT CAREGIVER FOR YOUR FAMILY WITH UPWARDS
Find daycares, nannies, and babysitters that meet your family's unique needs. No matter your schedule, budget, or special accommodations, Upwards allows you to easily match and vet providers to find the perfect fit for your child. Many caregivers complete a background check process when joining Upwards, but parents also have the ability to request a comprehensive evaluation from the app before meeting childcare providers.

MEET VIRTUALLY TO SAVE TIME WITH THE UPWARDS APP
We understand that finding the right caregiver is critical and your time as a parent is limited. Upwards makes it simple for parents and caregivers to connect, chat, and schedule virtual tours and interviews to ensure the right fit without the hassle. Once you've found your match, easily request and schedule childcare directly from the Upwards app.

WATCH YOUR KIDDO GROW AND DEVELOP
Upwards caregivers have access to hundreds of educational activities and curriculum designed to ensure that children are constantly learning and developing. All activities include comprehensive instructions that are catered to each age group (infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged kiddos), as well as pointers for parents to help continue education at home. Caregivers can easily share photo and video updates from the Upwards app so parents don't miss a moment.

CONNECT WITH THE UPWARDS COMMUNITY
Get the support you need from other families in your neighborhood through the Upwards Community forum. Receive answers to questions about childcare, behavior and development, parenting hacks, and tough topics from local childcare and early education experts. Once your questions are answered, you can also share and learn about kid-friendly activities and things to do with your little ones in your neighborhood.

LIST YOUR CAREGIVER SERVICES
Apply to join the largest care network in America to match with local families for daycare, nanny, or babysitter needs in your neighborhood.

no one responds on this app, there are jo.phobe numbers so you can't call the daycares, and if you contact too many people you can't contact more. winnie is a better site for daycare searches

The customer service is very poor to the point where I think it's a scam service. So the point person, Jayson, messages me to fill out a form through the messaging app but it didn't make sense to me on how they wanted me to fill it out because if you're gathering data this way, you'd have to manually input it somewhere else...it just seemed inefficient. So I ask Jayson to email me something more official and he sends me an email but it wasn't the form. He wanted $50 to assist with searching. No.

Daycare providers don't respond. I maxed out the number of providers I could request info from on 2/8 and NOBODY responded. I assume it was around 10+ providers. I know daycare is really tough to get into, esp in-home, and I just wanted info and to be added to wait lists. This app serves absolutely no purpose in helping me find daycare for my newborn later this year.
