## The Overview

Birdie is an on-demand childcare app that allows parents to find top-quality, pre-screened sitters that align with their needs and schedule.

Flexible scheduling is provided for both singular sessions whenever needed and recurring bookings over longer duration. And with a thorough vetting process, parents can trust that these sitters and bookings will provide childcare of the highest standards.

## Impact by the Numbers
