About NOOK

Care support that helps both sides.

NOOK helps households whose work schedules make childcare hard to arrange connect with volunteer sitters from the broader community.

Households make one request with the time, general area, number of children, and helpful care notes. NOOK shares it with approved volunteers who can respond if they are available.

Volunteer sitters can use NOOK to find clear opportunities to help, track completed care, and keep records that may support service-hour submissions.

Some volunteers may list a small suggested contribution. The core purpose is free or low-cost childcare support, not a generic paid job board.

NOOK tracks identity, community connection, recommendations, training listed by the volunteer, and completed service hours separately. Service-hour credit depends on the volunteer's school, program, or organization.
