We’ve had a little name glow-up - introducing The Village Co.
You told us not to lose the "village." So we didn’t.

We’ve evolved — because modern parenting deserves modern support.
-elevated, empowered, and emotionally intelligent.

Formerly It Takes a Village. Same mission. New magic. Welcome to the new standard in babysitting.

Why We Built The Village Co.

Nikki and Soph

It started with two mums, a group chat, and little to no family nearby.

We built this for the parents like us, the ones doing it all and wondering how the hell they’re still standing.

Because you deserve more than three sips of cold coffee and a date night that gets cancelled… again.

We personally call every sitter. We welcome every parent. Because we believe parenting shouldn’t mean doing it alone..\

Nikki & Sophia
Co-founders, Mums. Still winging it, just like you.

Time back = sanity restored

Time back = sanity restored

Read a book. Kiss your partner like you mean it. Or just lie horizontally. We’re not judging.

Support that flexes with you

Support you can flex

Whether it’s Friday night drinks or Tuesday’s team call — we’ve got you.

Built by parents, for parents

Parent-built. Parent-backed.

We’ve lived the chaos. We’re building the solution. And we are tired of pretending we can do it all alone.
