HAND

Hey PH family! 👋 👪 Guess some of you have kids (up to 12 yrs) and if not, I was hoping for any sort of feedback 💚 😥 Have you found yourself in situation you wanted to go to an unexpected event or just see a doctor, which became a nightmare with finding someone to sit your kids? Or did you want to take on side hustle during maternity leave and couldn't due to unaffordable childcare since you make less than nanny rates? We are couple from Czech Republic living in California with no family that could give us a HAND in US. So we came up w/ an idea to build an app for parents facilitating babysitting as nannies are crazy expensive 💰💰💰 Why not find nearby mums available to sit your kid in their place? They can play together and you can do the same in exchange sometime in future. In this app you pay for babysitting with points that you can collect by sitting another kid in your place. 🤑 It's currently free (you get 5 hrs of free childcare upon sign-up) so sign up and wait for your match! Moreover, first 1000 users get bonus hours. 👭 Those afraid of trust, we have a special feature Preferred users, which means you can only be matched w/ friends you know (the more people you bring in the app, the better the chances of being matched!) There's gonna be less matches in the beginning as few people will be in so don't give in if not matched immediately; you will get matched sooner or later. Whenever you need a sitter, put a request in our app before looking for a nanny. Feel free to set yourself available even if not sure you can make it, you can cancel anytime last minute without penalty and we'll find another match to the other party right away. FUTURE FEATURES ▪ background check ▪ stars & user reviews ▪ n-degree connections ▪ premium membership ▪ presentation vids ▪ upgraded profile pages w/ pics & bios ▪ health concerns [allergy tags etc.] ▪ bonus points for achievements Be among the first who can help us build this and become a trendsetter. I'm here to respond all your questions, Simona 💚

Thanks for support guys :)

This is so useful guys :) Every parent knows what I'm talking about. Great job @simonapale

Congratulations on launching HAND! It sounds like a promising platform. To make it even better, consider adding these features: In-app messaging for easy parent-sitter communication. Ratings and reviews to build trust and credibility within the community. Option to set preferences for sitter availability and parent requirements. Integrated payment system for smoother transactions. Safety verification for both parents and sitters. Your idea has great potential! If you want more insights or feedback, connect with me on Product Hunt. I'd love to learn more about your journey and support your success. Keep up the excellent work!

great idea :)

love this!

Most useful app on PH :))
