StemSitters.com
A childcare concept built around hands-on STEM activities matched to a child’s age and interests.
StemSitters is at concept stage. The current site introduces the idea; it is not a live booking service.
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. The concept makes the sitter the experiment lead: a vetted caregiver would 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 would browse by activity and age; sitters would list what they can run. Real activities, age-banded — not a vague promise of “enrichment.”
