What is CareSwap?

A private circle of people who already know and trust each other, giving and getting care.

You post when you need help. Someone in your circle says yes. That's it.

Not a babysitting service.

No strangers, no sitters for hire. You bring the people you already trust.

Example post
Your name here
NEEDS HELP
Wednesday, 2–4pm
2 kids, ages 4 and 7
Just need someone to watch the kids while I'm at my appointment. 🙏

Is it really private?

Yes. We've put layers of control into your hands.

You choose your circle.

Every connection takes a yes from both people.

You choose who sees each post.

Everyone in your circle, or just a few specific people.

Remove anyone, anytime.

We don't notify them, you both just stop seeing each other in the app. There's no guilt in keeping a tight circle.

Is this for me?

If any of these sound like you, then yes:

  • You have people you trust nearby, but you've never asked for their help.
  • You'd help a friend in a heartbeat, but they're unlikely to ask when they have a need.
  • Your group already trades care, but the group chat can't keep up.
  • You believe community works better when we care for each other, but making it happen feels too complicated.

No one likes to ask for help. CareSwap lets you put a need out to your whole circle at once, so no single person carries the weight of being asked.
