Babysitting platform Heynannyly goes live

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

The childcare platform Heynannyly is launching in Munich. The Heynannyly app aims to make it possible to book short-term and insured childcare. The babysitters available there would be vetted beforehand.

According to the startup, 1,000 babysitters have already registered before the launch. Hundreds of parents have already signed up as well, it said. "As a mother of two, I know how difficult it is to quickly find someone suitable for childcare. That's why I'm all the more pleased that all Munich parents will 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 2021. With their app, the founders want to provide parents with a flexible childcare option for children from 0 to 14 years old. In doing so, parents can get support with homework help or transportation services, for example. This is particularly relevant in times of more flexible working models. Soon, the founders plan 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.
