Open your home and create a space for children to thrive, learn and grow.
Daybear makes it easy for you to provide child care in your own home. We help you get started and provide the tools and support so you can spend time with the children - it’s like a play-date, but you get paid!
We envision communities where neighbors, family, and friends have the ability to support each other in raising children, while also creating opportunities for the local economy.
