Backup care, defined
Know who you can ask before you ask
So when plans fall through, you're not guessing. You already know who's available, what kind of help is okay, and what won't feel awkward.
Nura helps parents organize small, trusted support circles ahead of time.
Start with one or two families.
Agree on how you help.
See who is available when plans change.
Most families are one canceled plan from scrambling
No family nearby. Friends without kids.
Work doesn't match school hours.
And most days run on a fragile backup plan.
When that plan falls through, you scramble. It shouldn't feel like this every time.
💸 The same two people
Most families rely on one or two trusted people. When they are busy or overwhelmed, the whole system falls apart.
🕒 It doesn't take a crisis. Just one change.
When schedules overlap, you start texting.
Or you leave early.
Or you hope it works out.
What makes a village actually work
It's not more people.
It's shared visibility, clear norms, and predictable backup.
When something shifts, you already know where you stand. Who’s available. What’s okay to ask. Nothing feels uncertain.
Start with the parents you already know
Build your circle intentionally. Define what support means in your real life, pickups, playdates, short coverage. Keep it small. Keep it clear.
Set expectations together
Share availability. Share comfort levels. Make expectations visible so no one has to guess.
Keep it balanced over time
Support is visible. Contributions are shared. Asking feels lighter when participation is clear. No payments. No pressure. Just clarity.
Comfort comes first
Different families, different comfort levels. You decide who is in and what is shared.
Verified parent profiles
Each parent confirms their identity with a secure photo ID check.
Optional additional screening
Extra reassurance for families who want it.
Shared expectations
Clear norms around reliability, communication, and respect.
Accountability tools
If something feels off, you can flag it. We review every report.
