Childcare... But Smarter

When it comes to childcare, parents want the best for their kids—something safe, reliable, and enriching. But let’s be honest: traditional babysitting doesn’t always check all those boxes. That’s where Mentmii comes in.

At Mentmii, we’ve reimagined what childcare can be. We call it skill-share childcare, but you might just call it childcare, but smarter. Why? Because we go beyond just keeping an eye on your kiddo. We help them grow.

The Problem with Traditional Childcare

The typical babysitting experience is fine for keeping kids entertained and safe for a few hours, but it often lacks meaningful engagement.

  • Your 10-year-old spends most of the time glued to a screen.
  • Babysitters may not have the specialized skills your child could benefit from.
  • It feels transactional instead of transformational.

Enter Mentmii: Childcare That Grows With Your Kid

We’ve turned the babysitting model on its head. Mentmii matches high school mentors with grade school kids for in-person coaching and mentorship in four areas:

  • Sports: From soccer to swimming, our mentors help your kids level up their game.
  • STEM: Build robots, code apps, or explore science experiments.
  • Art: Draw, paint, or sculpt alongside an experienced mentor.
  • Music: Learn an instrument, write a song, or master music theory.

With Mentmii, you’re not just hiring someone to watch your child—you’re hiring someone to inspire them.

More than just mentorship

Mentmii isn’t just for one-off needs; it’s a flexible solution for modern parents. Here’s how families are using Mentmii mentors:

After-School Care with a Purpose: Instead of just filling the gap between school and dinnertime, let your kiddo spend an hour learning guitar, working on their jump shot, or tackling a fun coding project.

Date Night Done Right: While you enjoy a well-deserved night out, your child is engaged in something they love—learning and growing with a mentor.

Leveling Up Skills: Got a budding artist who’s passionate about sketching or a young soccer star looking to nail their corner kicks? Mentors specialize in helping kids grow in their chosen interests.

Conference Call Coverage: Need someone to keep your child engaged while you hop on that important Zoom meeting? A Mentmii mentor can step in to make the time productive and fun.

Weekend Enrichment: Saturday mornings aren’t just for cartoons. Book a mentor for a hands-on STEM project or an art session to spark creativity.

The Mentmii Difference

Parents love Mentmii because it’s not just childcare; it’s an investment in your child’s development. And our mentors? They love the chance to share their passions and gain valuable experience along the way.

Mentmii helps create connections that last longer than a single session. Whether it’s a varsity soccer star mentoring your child on the field, a coding enthusiast teaching the basics of robotics, or a first-chair flutist inspiring a love of music, these relationships can shape futures.

Take the first step toward childcare, but smarter. Book a mentor who will make a real difference in your child’s life.

Because babysitters are great. But mentors? They’re game-changers.
