ParentVillage

Marketplace that helps find trusted babysitters

ParentVillage helps parents find babysitters, and vice versa. It provides free financial-grade identity verification with biometric checks, premium background checks (including sex offender registry checks), phone and email verification, local reviews, the ability to report suspicious users, and more.

ParentVillage was founded in 2021 by Steven Ebin, a dad, the host of the popular kids' stories podcast "Make Up Stories," and an Edmund Hillary fellow.

Prior to founding ParentVillage, Ebin held growth roles at KeepTruckin, InVision, Optimizely, and MuleSoft.
