Babysitting platform Heynannyly goes live

The Munich-based start-up aims to provide short-term, verified childcare that users can book using an app.

The childcare platform Heynannyly launches in Munich. The Heynannyly app is designed to enable users to book childcare at short notice and with insurance. The babysitters available there would be checked beforehand.

According to the start-up, 1,000 babysitters have already registered before the launch. Hundreds of parents have also already registered. "As a mother of two children, I know how difficult it is to find suitable childcare quickly. So I'm all the more pleased that all Munich parents can now benefit from Heynannyly and that we're providing babysitters with a great job platform at the same time," says co-founder Julia Kahle about the service.

Kahle founded the childcare platform together with Anna Schneider in 2021. With their app, the founders want to provide parents with a flexible childcare option for children aged 0 to 14. Parents can get help with homework or transportation services, for example. This is particularly relevant in times of more flexible working models. The founders soon want to raise external capital in a pre-seed financing round. This will enable the company to expand its team and offer the service in other German cities in the future.
