We have three kids (five and under) and like many of our friends, we don't have family nearby, so we rely on a rotating list of babysitters. It's tough. Planned date nights are one thing, but add to that school closures, sick days, or a traffic jam that has you running late for pickup and all of a sudden, the sitter handover takes on a whole new level of stress.

Catherine typically owns the walkthrough — leading the sitter around the house, covering the kids, the bedtime routine, the buttons they'll try to push, their comfort objects, the latest challenges, screen time rules, where the fire extinguisher is located and anything else time allows for. Inevitably, we still end up answering a text or phone call during dinner and it's rarely about something that's urgent.

Fridge printouts, spreadsheets, and other hacks just don't cut it for busy parents. Life with kids changes on the regular and we wanted an easy way to make sure nothing was missed, so we built KidBrief - an up-to-date brief on your kids and home you can share with a sitter in seconds. Parents need more support across the board and we hope KidBrief can play a small role in easing the load.
