Bambino is a community for parents and babysitters to connect. A place where they can find each other through common connections and chat. Where parents can review sitters once they’ve sat for them, and where sitters can see their connection to parents before they sit for them.
With the holiday parties and other end of year outings on the horizon, Bambino can be a lifesaver for local parents. For more information visit bambinositters.com

00:00 Hey, with the holiday parties and outings on the horizon,
00:03 finding someone to trust worthy to watch your kids may be tough.
00:06 Yeah, I talked with Sarah Brown from Bambino
00:08 about how you can book a babysitter without having to worry.
00:11 Hi, Sarah, how are you doing today?
00:16 I'm great. It's really great to be here this morning.
00:18 Oh, well, it's great to have you.
00:19 And I'm so interested in this because this is such a cool concept.
00:22 Tell us a little bit about Bambino.
00:24 Yeah, so Bambino is a great app that connects parents to their local neighborhood babysitter.
00:29 So no longer do you have to go on those Facebook groups and try to source a sitter.
00:33 You can find somebody local with the easy tap of an app.
00:36 Well, you know, I'm a new mom and I have been on some of those Facebook groups,
00:39 and it does always make me a little nervous, you know, with finding somebody online.
00:45 How do you know as a parent that you're getting a trustworthy babysitter?
00:49 Well, what's great about Bambino is we really believe in community.
00:52 So we have this great tab that's called the community tab,
00:54 and you can easily go on and find your friends and your neighbor's favorite babysitter.
00:58 So if you like to, you can either find your friends and just kind of scroll through,
01:02 or you can upload your contacts and we'll automatically connect you with your friend's favorite babysitter.
01:06 So it's no longer the old fashioned way of calling up your friends and asking for a referral.
01:10 You can just go on there and everyone can share their favorite babysitter.
01:13 Oh, wow. I love that. That's so great.
01:15 So how as a parent, how do I sign up and then how do the sitters themselves sign up?
01:20 Sure. So we're a mobile app. So all you have to do is go to the Google Play Store or go to the Apple Store and download the app.
01:26 And it takes about five minutes to complete the registration process.
01:29 And you can go in and you can easily book and you can easily find and book a babysitter within a couple minutes.
01:36 OK, I love that. And then what about for the sitters themselves? How do they sign up?
01:39 Yeah. So the sitters have a little bit longer of a process.
01:42 It probably takes about 10 or 15 minutes, but it's very important for us.
01:45 We really believe in bringing the village to life.
01:47 So in order for any sitter to go to be a sitter on the platform,
01:50 they have to go through a vetting and verification process, but also have a recommendation from somebody local in the community.
01:57 OK, so you guys that you vet them yourselves as well.
02:00 It's not just like our friends who are on the app and you in Bambino, you vet these people as well.
02:07 So in our technology, we have set up an ID verification.
02:11 So we have a multi point security safety and security measures.
02:15 And so it's all built in within the technology.
02:17 So what happens is a parent or a sitter will go on and they have to go through their mobile ID verification.
02:23 So, you know, you put your mobile phone number in and then we cross check that.
02:25 So if anyone's using a throwaway phone number or a Google voice number, they'll automatically be blocked from our system.
02:32 We really want to know who our people are. Once they go into that, there's other steps that they have to do as well.
02:38 There's ID verification. We match everybody with Family Watchdog, whether you're a sitter or a parent.
02:44 And then also you have to have that local recommendation from somebody else who goes through the same process.
02:49 And then once you put in the app is cashless.
02:52 So once you put in your banking credentials and you put in your credit card,
02:57 it's also goes through that second layer of banking ID verification per se.
03:02 I love this. OK, so there are multiple ways that people are vetted. They have to have that recommendation.
03:08 I mean, for me, I'm a very new mom. My baby's very young at home.
03:11 And so I would be very specific about who I let watch him. So I'm loving this so far.
03:16 What about like last minute? How quick can you get a sitter?
03:20 You can get a sitter within minutes. I have two young boys also.
03:24 And often, you know, it's one of those days we've had a long week.
03:27 It's a Friday night. My kids just want to watch a movie or play video games.
03:30 My husband and I just want to get out and go to dinner.
03:31 And we've had a sitter at our house within 15 minutes because these are not girls that are coming or boys, actually.
03:37 They're not sitters that are coming from, you know, an hour away.
03:40 These are the people that live in your community. So there's a mile radius.
03:43 So they're just walking across the street. So we like to say our sitters are across the street,
03:47 down the street, down the corner, around the corner and in your community.
03:53 Absolutely. They're right there in your same neighborhood. That's really, really cool.
03:57 This is such a great concept. So tell everybody how they find the app and give us that that sign up lingo one more time.
04:05 Yeah. So go to the Google Play Store, go to the Apple Store and just type in Bambino.
04:09 It will come up to the top and just download the app and take a few minutes to register.
04:13 We also have a wonderful promo code for everybody who signs up today.
04:17 It's called K A Z T and that's for ten dollars off your first booking.
04:21 We're not membership based. However, you can subscribe and get premium benefits.
04:26 But if you just want to use us and try us out, you don't have to subscribe.
04:29 You can just download the app and get started right away. And you use K A Z T. Yep.
04:34 K A Z T. All right. Done. I am signed up today.
04:39 Well, this is great. And you'll love it. I'm definitely going to try it, Sarah.
04:42 Well, thank you so much for being here and telling us all about Bambino.
04:45 Thank you for having me. It's been great. Absolutely.
04:47 Thank you.
