Ringlet makes it simple to activate your support network — whether you're looking for help with the kids, running a care organization, or staying close with the people who matter.
Sewickley Valley Sitters, a local babysitting co-op, now runs its whole operation — bookings, scheduling, communication — through Ringlet.
"The app process is easy and it's such a cool idea... parents are frequently looking for sitters." — Rachael W., parent
Every care request and every plan reaches only the people you choose — never a public post.
Whether you're a parent trying to coordinate care or an organizer running a community collective — Ringlet meets you where you are.
You have a village — you just need a way to activate it. Ringlet helps you see who's available, schedule help, and stay connected with your trusted circle of family and friends.
A Ringlet Organization is purpose-built for babysitting co-ops, neighborhood care circles, and child care businesses that coordinate care across many families — led by someone their community already trusts. Ideal for Facebook parent group admins, moms' club organizers, and entrepreneurial students building a sitting business.
Ringlet isn't only for care. It's where you make plans with the people you actually want to see — without a public post or a dozen texts.
Start with family and friends, and let Ringlet widen the circle to sitters you trust — on your timeline.
Family, friends, your parent co-op
The go-to sitters you already know

Each step only goes out if you still need someone — and nobody outside the circle you choose ever sees the request.
Lean on family, friends, and your co-op before you pay for anything — then widen automatically, on your schedule, if you still need someone. No more texting down a list.
See how it works for families →When a family's own village can't cover it, your Organization is who they bring in. Your sitters see real requests from families who need them — privately, never as a public post.
Start an Organization →Ringlet is already connecting parents and caregivers in communities like Sewickley, PA — here's what they're saying.
I have had friends sometimes tell me they can't go out because they can't find a sitter and I have almost never had to say that.
The app process is easy and it's such a cool idea. I have faith that it will work because parents are frequently looking for sitters.
"Parents need date nights and outings with friends to maintain their mental and social health — and they often need childcare to enable those outings. Our mission is to strengthen access to support and social connection, particularly in the situations where they intersect, like childcare."

Care-only apps stop
at the booking.
Ringlet is also where you make the plans that make the sitter worth it — with the same people you'd trust with your kids.
Lead with the plan
Post what, when, and how many spots. No working the phones — the right people say yes, and you're not left chasing replies.
You choose who sees it
Every plan goes to a Ring, a Group, or people you pick by name. When it's full, it locks to attendees only — even for someone refreshing an old tab.
Small on purpose
Built for one-on-one time and small groups. Quality time with the people you really care about — not a guest list to grow.
Connection is the mission.
We see the needs of support and social connection as intertwined. Ringlet exists to strengthen both — whether that's finding a sitter for date night or making sure you actually have a date night to find a sitter for.
