Babysitter recommendations that don't disappear in the group chat
“Who's your babysitter?” is one of the most useful questions parents ask one another — and one of the easiest answers to lose.
REC'D BY gives those recommendations a home.

My Sitters
Keep the person attached to the recommendation
A sitter means more when you can see the real relationship behind the recommendation. REC'D BY is designed to preserve that context instead of flattening it into an anonymous review.

Grow a roster before you need it
The worst time to begin searching for a sitter is fifteen minutes after your regular sitter says they're unavailable. Save recommendations as you hear them, connect with the people you trust, and gradually build a deeper bench.
Recommendations become more useful over time
As your village grows, the same sitter may be connected to several people you know. That overlap can help you decide who you want to contact, while still leaving the final decision with your family.
