Connects parents with vetted babysitters

About Otter

Otter connects parents with qualified babysitters through its online platform, focusing on the childcare industry. The service stands out due to its thorough vetting process for sitters, which includes skills tests, reference checks, and interviews, along with mandatory background checks for both parents and sitters to ensure safety. Parents can book a sitter on short notice, sometimes as little as two hours, making it a convenient option for last-minute childcare needs. The company earns revenue by charging a fee for each booking, which is shared with the sitters, providing them with a flexible income opportunity. With significant backing from prominent venture capital firms, Otter aims to address the demand for reliable childcare services while ensuring a safe environment for families.
