We want to change the conversation around childcare
Not just for parents but for the professionals who work every day to raise children

Sound Interesting?
“Just The Nanny”
This is a refrain we hear all too often. As a profession, childcare has traditionally not been given the same respect as careers that take place outside of the home or schools. Consequently, the professionals working with children have been given the same lower status.
But then why are parents trusting you with the development & emotional health of their children?
Because you are an Expert
You’ve made it your business to study how children grow & learn, what makes them smile or cry, how to talk & listen to them.
You have the experience of working with multiple families and many children. You have the benefit of unbiased observation and can be objective in providing the best care to your charge.
At Village, we recognize the incredible knowledge & skills you’ve developed and we want to give you a whole new way to use them.

Take control of your professional life
Work when you want, where you want, & with whom you want.
Flexibility
Our service uses video conferencing technology to connect you to parents all over the world. When you choose to connect is up to you.
Do you have some free time and want to earn a little extra income? Set the hours when you want to be available and we’ll get you connected & earning. Because it’s virtual, you can work anywhere, at any time.
There are a lot of flex work options out there, but none of them let you use the skills and experience you’ve developed throughout your career.
Career Options
Kids are great, but let’s face it, they can be a handful. Parents are facing more challenges than ever and are desperate for help. Your experience as a childcare professional makes you uniquely qualified to provide that help.
If parents need a break, they can turn to you, but what if you need a breather? Maybe you don’t want to run, crawl, or chase after children anymore.
Village gives you the opportunity to step away from the day to day aspects of childcare while still working in your field. You can work as many hours as you like and transition from supplementary income into something more.
Empowering & Rewarding
When you work with Village, you have the opportunity to help change the narrative around childcare. We are tackling that notion of “just the nanny” or “only a teacher” head on.
Parents are coming to you because they need your help. By sharing your expertise, you have the opportunity to help more families than ever before.
Most families cannot afford to pay for full time childcare, but that does not mean they do not deserve the advantages of “professional parenting”. We believe that, by helping parents develop the tools to raise happy children, we can put some good into the world.
