Why families trust her

What you can count on

  • On time, every time

    Birdie arrives a few minutes early so you can walk her through the evening without rushing out the door.

  • Your rules are the rules

    Bedtimes, screen limits, snacks, allergies: she writes them down when you tell her and sticks to them.

  • Patient and playful

    She's the kid who gets down on the floor for the fourth round of the same game and still means it.

  • Knows when to ask for help

    She has your number, her parents' numbers, and clear instructions to call first and figure it out second.

  • Leaves things as she found them

    Toys picked up, dishes in the sink, lights off in the playroom. You come home to a tidy house.

  • A note at the end

    What they ate, when they went down, anything funny they said. You get the full report before she heads home.

How it goes

A sitting with Birdie

  1. The walkthrough

    You show her around, share the house rules and where things live. She takes notes so nothing gets lost.

  2. Play, snacks, and the good stuff

    Crafts, books, backyard games, a dance party if the moment calls for it. Screens only if you say so.

  3. Wind-down

    Teeth brushed, pajamas on, a story or two. She follows your bedtime routine to the letter.

  4. The handoff

    A quick rundown of the evening, a tidy house, and one of her parents at the door to walk her home.

A word from her parents We're part of every sitting. One of us is always home and a text away, we walk Birdie over and back, and we're happy to meet you first. She's earned this by being steady and thoughtful at home, and we think your family will see the same thing.
