Our story

Built by parents, for parents

Nestling started with a problem we lived ourselves, finding childcare we could trust without the stress, the guesswork, and the endless phone calls.

Why we exist

Care that feels like family

A few years ago, we were the parents refreshing sitter sites at midnight, calling around, and still feeling unsure about who we were leaving our children with. We knew there had to be a better way.

So we built Nestling, a place where every sitter is carefully vetted, every booking is simple, and every family can feel genuinely at ease. Today, we connect thousands of families with sitters who treat their children like their own.

We're still parents first. That's why we hold every sitter to the standard we'd want for our own families.

Our journey

How we got here

2018

The first idea

Two parents, frustrated with finding trustworthy sitters, sketched out what would become Nestling on a kitchen table.

Our first 100 families

Growing with care

We expanded to new cities while keeping our vetting standards high. Word spread, mostly from parents telling other parents.
