Tunnel Miles

Tunnel is a private, membership-based childcare network for families and caregivers in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are not a marketplace. There is no browsing, no search, no public profiles, and no swiping. Instead, every family and every caregiver goes through the same thoughtful process — because trust has to go both ways. HOW TUNNEL WORKS 1. Apply Every family and every caregiver applies with a short, structured application. No public profile is created. 2. Interview A real conversation with our team. We're not matching résumés to requirements; we're matching families to families. 3. Playdate Before anyone signs anything, the children meet. Two hours, both families present. If the kids click, everything else follows. 4. Introduction & Agreement We formally introduce you and provide the Co-Mom Agreement — a clear, fair framework covering everything from schedules to sick days, so nothing is left to awkward guesswork. WHY FAMILIES JOIN • Every application is read by a human — never ranked by an algorithm • Caregivers are interviewed and vetted before any introduction is made • Introductions are thoughtful and made one at a time • A clear agreement framework, so expectations are set from day one WHY CAREGIVERS JOIN • You are welcomed as a professional — and as a person • Many of our caregivers are mothers themselves, and families in our network are open to a caregiver bringing her own child • No bidding, no gig-app churn — real, lasting relationships with families who share your values THE CO-MOM DIFFERENCE Tunnel was built around a simple idea: the best childcare doesn't feel like a service. Many caregivers are moms too. When a family welcomes a caregiver's child, the children grow up alongside trusted companions — and the relationship becomes something closer to family. MEMBERSHIP Tunnel is currently welcoming founding families and caregivers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Applying is free. We review every application individually and make thoughtful introductions when there may be a strong fit. Questions? We'd love to hear from you: support@tunnelmiles.com
