Where Parents Help Parents
Qidoo helps you build a support circle and share childcare.
Meet parents nearby, join your local group of families, build trust, and take turns helping out and watching your kids. Choose who's in your support circle and how you help each other: From playdates to occasional and regular child care. No money, just trust and time.
How It Works
1. Sign-up
Share your postcode, your kids' ages, and your preferences to help us match you with other nearby families who are also looking to connect.
2. Meet Other Families Nearby
Join one of Qidoo's small, in-person meetups with selected families from your area. It's a relaxed way to break the ice and see who could become part of your Support Circle.
3. Build Trust
After the meetup, you choose which families you'd like to get to know better. Meet again, build a connection, and decide together if you'd like to form a Support Circle.
4. Support Each Other
Once trust is built, you can start supporting each other. From playdates to occasional and regular child care, make parenting easier and more connected.
