## What is Otay?

With Otay, parents build their dream support system, sitters earn cash on their own time, and we all breathe a sigh of relief. We are making sure everyone is Otay. Log into Otay to make parenting – and babysitting – easier than ever!


FOR PARENTS:

Ever feel like you're building your support system from scratch? Well, with Otay, you're not alone. Embrace the future of childcare with our tech-savvy approach. Just swipe, connect, and build your ultimate sitter squad – up to six caregivers who fit your family like a glove. Then simply start posting shifts to let you sitters pick up! Rest easy knowing only the sitters you match with can access your shifts. Thanks to our nifty notification system that keeps everything running smoothly you’ll never go without a sitter, or a backup sitter! Keep new sitters on your team informed with a house manual so you don’t have to re-write your rules and bedtime routines every time someone new comes to help. This is not the time for solo parenting, it’s time to make sure we are ALL Otay. 


FOR SITTERS: 
Your time is precious! That's why Otay gives you the freedom to work on your own terms. Swipe, match, and dive into rewarding babysitting experiences working as much or as little as you’d like.  Pick up shifts that suit your schedule, and if life throws you a curveball, no worries! Another one of the family's sitters will be notified and your backup will be on the way in seconds. Our handy notification system keeps everyone in the loop. Otay eliminates the worst part about babysitting negotiations - the payment. Complete your profile so parents know what you charge before you match. They can also see your venmo on your profile so there is no in the doorway, end of the night, awkward cash exchange. Join Otay and thrive in your babysitting journey.


Otay, Otay, you get the point!

*2024-07-24*

This app has helped us find a sitter so much more efficiently. The app is easy to use and our sitters are amazing. We never would have found them without Otay. Last minute date nights are now possible thanks to this app. We just send out a notification for when we need someone to look after our kids and they can pick up the shift. It’s super easy and has made our busy schedules that much easier to work with. Thank you Otay!!!
