Being a parent to newborns can be difficult, and it is challenging to find a trustworthy babysitter.

Currently, Bambino is used by over 20,000 users.

How does Bambino work?

Bambino is a community for parents and babysitters to connect. A place where they can find each other through common connections and chat. Where parents can review sitters once they’ve sat for them, and where sitters can see their connection to parents before they sit for them.

In the Bambino app, you will discover new local sitters and read what other parents around you have written about them. (Things like “She arrived on time, and my kids enjoyed having her as a sitter and can’t wait to have her babysit again,” “My kids absolutely loved her,” and “He cleaned up the kitchen! Hooray!”)

Conclusion

In common with most childcare choices, there are pros and cons for you to weigh up. But depending on your own perspective, what one person might see as a disadvantage (such as fitting into the babysitter’s daily routine), might be viewed as an advantage by another (lots of learning opportunities in a family environment). The best decision for you will be based on what feels right in your individual circumstances.
