Searching for a trusted babysitter is difficult. Searching for a sitter when your child has a disability can be even more challenging. We started Zozie out of our own frustrations while trying to find childcare for our daughter Zoe. We wanted to find a sitter where we didn't have to start from scratch explaining the nuances of her disability, what stimming is, what sensory behaviors are, or how to communicate and engage with our non-speaking child. We just wanted to go out on a date night and not let the simple joy of that be overwhelmed with the complexities that come with finding quality child care for her. When you hire a sitter through Zozie, you are hiring someone with experience in neuro divergence and disabilities. Whether that sitter has experience with autism, children who use alternative forms of communication, different sensory processing challenges, down syndrome, mobility difficulties or other medical needs, we help pair your child with the perfect sitter. We’re building Zozie because the needs of kids like Zoe aren’t special needs, but human needs that deserves meaningful and judgment free relationships.

We believe the world can be more accessible and inclusive and that includes childcare. If you’re a family in need of a trusted sitter for your child or a sitter with experience and passion to care for kiddos like ours, sign up and welcome to Zozie.
