About Carefully - Free Child Care Network

Why Carefully?
With Carefully, you're not getting a sitter, you're getting a play date! Carefully is an easy way to build a network of parents you know and trust to share care, redefining the traditional 'care circle' model for the digital age.

It's fun! Its easy! You deserve it!
>> Your kids get to play with friends they know and love.
>> It's easy to connect and coordinate with other parents.
>> Save money on childcare and take care of yourself too.


How it works:

BUILD YOUR OWN TRUSTED NETWORK:
You’re in control, adding only the people you trust and know to your network, and deciding which care requests to accept. Invite your friends, neighbors, family or connect with other families and caregivers by joining private Carefully Groups.

INTEGRATE WITH YOUR CALENDAR:
Carefully knows when you’re available, so you only get requests when you want them. By syncing with your iOS or Google calendar and setting your availability, Carefully effortlessly manages requests based on your up-to-date schedule.

SEARCH & FIND CARE:
Search across your trusted network to find care exactly when you need it, anytime. You’ll see who’s available, as well as the general availability of who isn’t… Let Carefully take the guesswork out of coordinating playdates!

EARN & REDEEM KARMA CARE HOURS:
The more you give the more you earn. Carefully keeps your karma in balance by rewarding you for hosting play dates.

CREATE & JOIN PRIVATE CIRCLES:
Carefully Groups are a great way to expand your network by connecting to other parents in school, local organizations and clubs, sports teams, and more. Use a group code to join, or easily create your own group anytime. Great for big and small groups alike!

MESSAGES & NOTIFICATIONS:
Carefully’s Inbox lets parents privately chat within the app for organizing playdates, sharing pickup/drop-off details, pictures or video, or simply staying in touch. Carefully also notifies you about upcoming events and playdates to keep you on schedule.

VIRTUAL LEARNING & ACTIVITIES:
From art and music to storytime and cooking, Carefully hosts weekly free online activities to keep your kids entertained, active, and learning.
