We’re not another sitter site or social app— we’re the place where parents connect, share care, and get it done.
“Because we’re all juggling… something. And finding care shouldn't feel like another job.”
Work deadlines. School drop-offs. The 'sitter just cancelled' texts. Nuggetino connects parents nearby to swap childcare, share rides, and save their sanity. Forget babysitter apps and scheduling headaches — we’re here for real parents, helping each other one pickup at a time.
How it Works
1. Tell us about your little nuggets and schedule
Create your family profile — share your childcare needs, kids’ ages, and location so we can connect you with nearby parents.
2. Connect with nearby parents who “get it”
Discover families with similar needs, then start a chat to coordinate shared childcare—like nanny-shares, carpools, playdates, or taking turns with before- and after-school care.
3. Share care, save costs
Team up with other families to rotate care days, share after-school pickups, or pool funds to hire a trusted nanny — making childcare more affordable for everyone.
"There are childcare hiring sites everywhere. But a place for parents to connect, collaborate, and share care? That’s what’s been missing - until now."
- Yuliya U., working mom of two
"Parenting solo is not easy, especially with no family around to help. I’m grateful for Nuggetino — a way to help me find my people."
- Alan S., single dad
“I used to spend hours scrolling through Facebook groups just to find a sitter or carpool buddy. Now, it’s all in one place!”
- Leslie G., first-time mom
“I almost gave up my career for childcare. Nuggetino gives me hope that parents won’t have to choose anymore.”
- Allysyn N., working mom
Questions Parents Ask
Is this free? Yes! Joining costs nothing!
Who can join? Parents or caregivers looking for local childcare help.
Why not just use a Facebook group? Facebook groups are great for chatting, but not for organizing. On Nuggetino, you don’t have to scroll through endless posts or try to remember who said they could help. It’s a dedicated, parent-only space with profiles, optional verification, and tools to easily set up nanny shares, co-ops, carpools, and playdates — all in one trusted place.
How would this actually work for my family? Say Sarah needs after-school care on Mondays, and Maria nearby needs help on Wednesdays. Through Nuggetino, they connect and swap days — both save money and gain time. Another family might use Nuggetino to organize a carpool to school or soccer practice, taking turns driving so everyone gets a break.
What steps does Nuggetino take to ensure safety?
Safety is our top priority — because trust isn’t something to take lightly.
Here’s what’s in place today:
• Email verification: Every member confirms their identity through email before joining.
• Controlled introductions: We only introduce parents who share similar needs, schedules, ZIP codes, and comfort preferences.
• Parent control: You always decide who to message, meet, or coordinate care with — nothing is automatic.
• Safety guidance: We provide clear recommendations for first meetups, childcare swaps, and building trust with other families.
Coming soon:
• Optional background checks
• Profile reviews and community ratings
• Enhanced identity verification
• In-app secure messaging
We’re parents too — so every feature in Nuggetino was built with your child’s safety and your peace of mind at the core.
Our Story
Nuggetino was created from the real challenges of modern parenthood—waitlists, unpredictable schedules, rising childcare costs, and the constant feeling of having to juggle everything alone. After navigating these struggles firsthand, our founder knew families needed something better: a simple, safe way to support each other.
That idea became Nuggetino—where parents team up for childcare swaps, nanny shares, carpools, and the community so many have been missing.
Because parenting is easier when we don’t do it alone.
