App doesn’t work

Wasted your time collecting personal information to then not work and won’t let you sign up. Useless app. Would not recommend

Based on parents needs only

Not so good for care providers

Great service! Easy to use!

Birdie Break has been a game-changer for us! We’ve found experienced and reliable sitters both at home and while traveling for work. The app is easy to use, and the quality of care has been fantastic every time. Highly recommend!

AMAZING!

Been using birdie for a few years, it’s been a godsend. Finally sitters we know we can trust with our babies when we need a date night or break.

This app is a lifesaver

I came to Canada when my baby was two months old, and I had to start my PhD immediately. The daycare waitlists took years to get a spot, and I came across Birdie after searching. I love everything about it! I loved that they did not just match me with someone; the sitter would offer, and we would go through their profile and choose the one I felt most comfortable with; it was reassuring that they were reliable and went through background checks and training. Another amazing feature is that I could book a setter for the whole semester without worrying about this every time. I booked several babysitting sessions with different setters; they all were fantastic and loving. As much as I felt awful leaving my son, as much as I felt great seeing that he was loved and taken care of. I was checking now and then using my baby cam, and every time I saw them hugging him, playing with him, and making him laugh, as a mother, nothing feels better than this! Whoever came up with the idea of this app is a genius and a lifesaver. I dont know how I could've gone through my PhD without Birdie.
