Finding daycare shouldn't feel like a second job.
Join your city's waitlist once, and let trusted daycares and dayhomes come to you with offers. When you find your fit, you simply say yes. Nestled is completely free for families.
How Nestled works
Tell us once
Share your city, your little one's name, and when you'd like care to start. One profile instead of twenty phone calls.
We match nightly
Every night we look for daycares and dayhomes in your city with room to welcome your child, and introduce you by email.
You choose
Providers send you offers. Compare them, chat with the caregivers, and accept the one that feels like home.

“We joined Nestled before our daughter was born. By the time my parental leave ended, we had three offers to choose from - and picked a dayhome two blocks away.”

Fill your spots with families who are ready.
- See every family waiting for care in your city, with the start dates they need.
- Get matched automatically every night as new families join the list.
- Make offers directly - families see them instantly on their dashboard and by email.
Built on trust
Every family and every provider verifies their email before appearing on Nestled. Families choose what to share, providers choose whom to contact, and nothing is ever sold to third parties. Your search for care should feel as safe as the care itself.
