Childcare with a science experiment built in. Vetted sitters run the activity at the table.
Childcare that doubles as a lab. StemSitters pairs families with sitters who run a hands-on STEM experiment while they’re there.
Babysitting is dead time. It doesn’t have to be.
Parents settle for “safe and occupied,” because “safe and curious” was never on the menu. StemSitters makes the sitter the experiment lead: vetted caregivers arrive with an age-appropriate activity, so hours you were paying for anyway turn into something the kid remembers.
Same sitter, same hours — but the kitchen table becomes a lab.
I framed the wedge and designed both sides of the marketplace.
Found the wedge
Not “more childcare” — “better hours.” The experiment is the differentiator, not a feature bolted on.
Designed both sides
Parents browse by activity and age; sitters list what they can run. Real activities, age-banded — not a vague promise of “enrichment.”
