How it works.

1. Download the Birdie App

Make a request for a specific date and time. Sitters who are interested and available will submit their profiles.

2. Choose your babysitter

Parents get notified + choose the sitter that feels like the best fit.

3. Confirm + Book

Pay per use with no subscription needed. Birdie is here so your family can say yes more often.

"A solution that allows you the freedom of knowing you are going to get an incredible person to watch your kids, without the work it takes to try to find that."
