Meet HelpHive — your village, on demand. 🐝

Finding a trusted sitter shouldn't feel like a full-time job.

HelpHive connects parents with vetted local college student sitters who are looking for flexible childcare opportunities. Whether you need someone to cover a last-minute appointment, give you a few hours to yourself, help while you're working from home, or simply lend a hand when life gets busy, HelpHive makes finding childcare easier.

FOR PARENTS
• Create childcare requests that fit your schedule and your family's needs
• Discover local college student sitters near you
• Message and connect with sitters in your community
• Find flexible help for everyday needs, backup care, date nights and appointments
• Build trusted connections close to home

FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
• Find flexible babysitting work that fits around classes
• Set your own availability, week by week

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tell us when you need care, and where you are.
2. Browse sitters who are genuinely free in that window — availability is real, not a guess.
3. Send a request. Once it's accepted, chat in the app and rate the session afterwards.

SAFETY
Every sitter is background-checked and personally reviewed before their profile goes live — no profile appears in search until a human has approved it. Parents and sitters can report or block anyone, and every booking chat stays inside the app.

HelpHive was created to make childcare feel less complicated and more connected. Parents deserve a simpler way to find help. College students deserve flexible work that fits their lives.
