Meet the founder
👋 Hi, I’m Ellie. I’m a new mom to a baby girl and I started Forwhen after my own experience as a NYC babysitter and a start-up veteran. I knew there had to be a better way to find work as a sitter and to for parents to get a few hours to themselves.
I’m passionate about making connections between families and the sitters on our platform who love nothing more than caring for little ones and giving parents the break they deserve.
