Fill Out Your Profile
Think of your profile like a digital sitter info sheet.
List your kids’ favorite foods, allergies, nap schedules… anything to help your friend give the best care.
Add your address so your friends can navigate to your house, your phone number so they can easily call or text, alt contact in case they can’t reach you.
This information is kept 100% secure. It’s only visible to people on your hand-selected friends list.
Build a Village
Your Village is your trusted friends. Your inner circle. Your people.
Komae is a babysitting co-op centered around you. Only those you personally invite into your Village can see your profile and your posts.
Want to get to know someone new? Use Komae to suggest a playdate, meetup at a park, get to know each other, and build a relationship. Then invite them into your Village.
Meet New Friends
Love the idea of swapping sits but looking for friends to be in your Village? Komae can help!
Discover new parents in your area with the nearby feature.
If you see someone with similar interests that you’d like to get to know, suggest a playdate on the app, meetup at a local park, then add them to your Village when you are ready to start swapping sits. Yes, it’s kinda like a mom-friend making app, too!
Swap Free Sits
I sit for you. You sit for me. We don’t pay for sitters anymore. Huzzah!
Post a need. Watch for offers to come in. Choose the one that’s best for you. Drop off your kids and enjoy your free time!
Put your new babysitting co-op to work and save money. Rather than paying top dollar for a teenage sitter, or asking your friend for an awkward favor. You now pay your friends with Komae points. Our in-app currency used to encourage a cycle of reciprocity.

Groups are local organizations, clubs, schools, neighborhoods, and more.
Join a Group so you can see the members list and quickly invite people you trust into your Village.
