How it works
Our village is saying
Otter caregivers make over $600/week on average
“We found an awesome caregiver, our kids got to spend time with other kids, and we didn’t have to worry about safety”
“Our caregiver and her family feel like part of our family. I can’t imagine these past few months without Otter.”

The origin story
Helen Mayer founded Otter to help every family find their village.
Helen was raised by a stay-at-home mom and started Otter in 2020 while she was a stay-at-home parent to her toddler twins.
