Mitlea
Now in Blacksburg, Virginia

Care from someone who knows how to care.

Meet experienced mothers and grandmothers who provide babysitting and family care with the patience, experience and warmth that come from years of caring for children.

Every caregiver on Mitlea writes her own profile. Nothing on it is estimated, and no badge appears until we have checked it ourselves.

Why Mitlea

Experience matters.

There are plenty of ways to find someone to watch your children for three hours. This is a way to find someone who has been doing it for thirty years.

Meet the caregivers

The people you would actually leave your children with.

The first caregivers are joining now.

Mitlea is opening in Blacksburg. If you have spent years looking after children, this is the moment to be one of the first profiles a family sees.

Become a caregiver

How it works

  1. 01

    Find

    Browse experienced caregivers near you. Read what they have actually done, not a job description.

  2. 02

    Connect

    See her experience, her personality, the ages she takes and when she is free. Message her before you commit to anything.

  3. 03

    Book

    Choose a date and time and send a request. She accepts or declines — nobody is auto-assigned to your children.

  4. 04

    Relax

    Pay through Mitlea. Your caregiver is paid after the session, and you both have a record of what was agreed.
