Upwards

Upwards connects thousands of families every day with the best local caregivers to provide safe, affordable, high quality childcare. As the nation's most loved network of vetted, licensed, and background checked caregivers, Upwards provides families a stress-free way to discover, meet, and book childcare with the best, parent-reviewed care providers in their area. FIND THE PERFECT CAREGIVER FOR YOUR FAMILY WITH UPWARDS Find daycares, nannies, and babysitters that meet your family's unique needs. No matter your schedule, budget, or special accommodations, Upwards allows you to easily match and vet providers to find the perfect fit for your child. Many caregivers complete a background check process when joining Upwards, but parents also have the ability to request a comprehensive evaluation from the app before meeting childcare providers. MEET VIRTUALLY TO SAVE TIME WITH THE UPWARDS APP We understand that finding the right caregiver is critical and your time as a parent is limited. Upwards makes it simple for parents and caregivers to connect, chat, and schedule virtual tours and interviews to ensure the right fit without the hassle. Once you've found your match, easily request and schedule childcare directly from the Upwards app. WATCH YOUR KIDDO GROW AND DEVELOP Upwards caregivers have access to hundreds of educational activities and curriculum designed to ensure that children are constantly learning and developing. All activities include comprehensive instructions that are catered to each age group (infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged kiddos), as well as pointers for parents to help continue education at home. Caregivers can easily share photo and video updates from the Upwards app so parents don't miss a moment.
