Daybear seems to have a great potential because it is trying to address a problem that many parents face. What are the challenges you are facing while building this?
@vickyteke our biggest challenges are really around the licensing, each county (not state) functions in a slightly different way and speed but have learnt to adapt to it. It's very clear why this is a hard thing for most people to do. It often feels like you need a degree just to navigate the government systems.

@mitchellgeere Thanks. I anticipated as much. Bureaucracy will be a part of the problem you must solve. All the best to you and your team.

Good afternoon! Does this service still exist? You say this is like Airbnb. As I understood, if my kid needs daycare, I can choose any place in the pp and a daycare provider and put him there. How can I understand it is really safe? Do those providers have any certificates that can confirm their professional level. My son is currently going to Little Scholars Kindergarten Brooklyn. He enjoys that place a lot. They have a great educational program for any age. But my second child does not like to be among other kids, so I am thinking about a personal daycare provider for him. But I also want him not to be at home. Maybe your service could help me to socialize with my son.
Hi Folks! I'm a co-founder and CEO of Daybear. We created Daybear as a way to address the lack of quality child care and we do so by enabling stay-at-home parents and teachers to host and educate children at their home. We do all the work short of caring for the children. We want parents to never have to choose between family income and spending time with their children, not do we want them to have to compromise on quality. For teachers, we make it so they can make more than double providing child care through us than what they do employed at a child care center.
This is what you can expect from us:
For Caregivers
- We help caregivers find children and enroll them
- We provide the tools and support to effectively and efficiently provide child care
- We guarantee payments for enrolled children
- We cover a large portion of the start-up cost (licensing, health training etc.)
- We provide continuous education for caregiver to ensure high quality of care
For Parents
- We help you find the right child care that fits your family’s need
- We provide you with the tools to manage your child’s care in one place. (never fill out an application ever again or write another check).
- We don’t charge application fee’s
- We provide the same support for parents, any questions just give us a call, anytime.
Sign-up as a Caregiver and get $100 off of your start-up fee and as a Parent get $100 off of your first month of tuition with us.

We look forward to hearing your feedback!
Product seems like a much needed platform. It looks like as a parent you have to sign up and give PII before you can see how many caregivers there are in my area. It'd be nice to see that first. Good luck!
@kay0stheory great question. We do background checks, health & safety trainings, and we do randomized inspections (3x what the state already does). We are constantly in communication with caregivers to ensure they're not feeling overwhelmed and that the children are receiving the care they need. We also do random surveys with parents to get a sense of how their children are doing - behavioral changes or any outward signs of stress etc.
All the founders are parents, and with that we believe we should only create child care where we would want our own children to go.
Thank you for your question.

How is Daybear like Airbnb exactly? Is the booking experience the same?
@anthony_stylianou we are the same in that we enable you to open your home to other families. Effective learning and growth through child care happens when children feel comfortable and safe.
The booking experience is different because their is a bit more regulation surrounding enrolling a child in care. However where it is the same is that we make it seamless for caregivers and families to enroll.
Thank you for your question!
