What Parents Are Saying
“We were already swapping care with friends, but Village App makes it organised. Points keep it fair, and now we never forget who owes who.”
Sam & Jenna, parents of three, Napier
“This is how childcare should work. No cash, no strangers — just people you already know and trust, helping each other out when they can.”
Reuben & Matt, dads of twins, Tauranga
“I was a bit unsure at first, but it’s so well set up. Our Hub feels safe and supportive. And the app is actually fun to use — like a little parenting sidekick!”
Lauren, first-time mum, Dunedin
“I love how transparent it is — I can see exactly how many points we’ve used or earned, and it just works. No awkward money chats, no favours owed.”
Priya, solo mum, Christchurch
“It feels like a proper village. I know everyone in our Hub, and we all want to help each other out. It’s so much easier than trying to juggle paid sitters or favours.”
Jason, Dad of one, Auckland
“It’s honestly changed our lives. We’ve had three date nights in the last month without spending a cent on babysitting. And I don’t feel guilty asking for help — it’s all give and take.”
