Finding the Perfect Childcare Match

My company Otter matches families who need childcare with parents who get paid to take care of kids in their community. We’ve learned a lot about what makes for a good match when it comes to childcare! I hope what we’ve learned can help you, whether you use Otter, daycare, a nanny, or some other form of childcare.
The most obvious factors to consider are schedule and location – you deserve to have reliable and convenient childcare when and where you need it. We know it can be hard to find, but it is worth it. If you’re having trouble finding the right fit, at Otter we work to match families in the same neighborhood and with similar schedules.
You also want to find someone who you get along with and who you trust. The perfect childcare match will help you leave your worries (or at least most of them!) at the door. It helps to find a caregiver who has a similar parenting philosophy as you – you should discuss everything from screen time, to discipline, to health standards.
I’m a mom to twins and I’ve known the challenge of the childcare search firsthand. If you’re struggling to find the right childcare match for your family, I’d love to help! Please sign up at withotter.com (signing up is free!) and our team will get in touch to find you the perfect match!
