The Village Fund

Your village, on call, for every family.

Access shouldn't depend on a family's bank balance. $5 of every enrollment and $1 of every booking go into the Village Fund, which sponsors memberships and date nights for families facing financial hardship, referred by churches, schools, and counselors.

$0 raised toward our first $500 goal

0% there. Every enrollment adds $5, every booking adds $1.

$125 $250 $375 $500

Our first $500 sponsors a full year of membership for one local family, enrollment included. Sponsored families are referred by local churches, schools, and counselors. Every booking nudges her forward. Help her get there!

The process

How it works

Busy Feet is a referral agency, not a directory. We know our sitters personally, and a booking isn't real until she says yes. Here's the journey:

Good to know: cancelling 5+ hours before the sit is free; under 5 hours, half the sitter amount is owed to her. Running late? 15 minutes of grace, then the next full hour is billed at her rate. We welcome little ones from 6 weeks old.
