What our parents are saying

We can confidently say, we'd leave our own kids with Otter in a heartbeat.

“As a solo parent with no family around, it's been a relief to know I can count on Otter for affordable and quality care in my community.”

"Emily got on the floor with our twins as soon as she walked in. She was immediately their new best friend."

Casey G, Parent

"I’m very happy with everything and will be booking again soon. My daughter adored her sitter from the first second! (And she was sound asleep when I got home.) It was perfect.”

Carmen E, Parent

“It was great. Super smooth and easy. We will definitely use you all again!”
