Mini Connections
How it works · for parents

From "we need a sitter tonight" to "they're on the way" in about four minutes.

No phone-tag, no group chats with the local mums' WhatsApp. Just a quiet, calm process that gets you a vetted sitter, fast.

01 / Tell us

Tell us when, where, and who.

Pick a date and time window, confirm the address (we remember your saved ones), and tell us about your kids — ages, anything we should brief the sitter on.

Booking form screen with date, address, and child detail fields
02 / Match

Pick up to three sitters from your shortlist.

We match against your location, time, kids' ages, and any skills you've asked for. You always pick — we never assign. Save the ones your kids love as favourites.

03 / Send

One tap to send the request.

Your shortlisted sitters all get a push notification at once. The first to accept is yours — no auctions, no bidding. Average accept time is 3 min 50 sec.

Confirmed booking notification screen
04 / Chat

Message in-app, share the details.

Once locked in, you and your sitter get a private thread. Share gate codes, bedtime quirks, the wifi password. All in-app, so it's there next time too.

05 / Pay

Pay in-app when you're back.

Your card on file is charged automatically after the booking — no cash, no awkwardness at the door. Tip in the app if you want to. Receipts emailed to you for the tax-deduction folks among us.
