Web Platform for Shared Babysitting Services

NannySharing is a custom-built web platform developed by Wollow in 2015, designed to serve the specific needs of families and babysitters in Switzerland. It’s a Ruby on Rails backend application with AngularJS frontend, operating as a modern shared economy system for childcare services.

It allows clients to register, enter their addresses, and request babysitting services. The system automatically finds and assigns the top-rated available nanny based on location and time. Babysitters register by submitting required documents, and admins review and approve them after interviews.

Core Features:

• Full online booking and schedule management

• Shared nanny bookings for up to 3 children from different families

• Real-time email/SMS notifications and feedback ratings

• Admin dashboard with user management, job control, and payment oversight

• Calendar and availability tracking for each babysitter

• Smart route calculations for service logistics

Third-Party Integrations:

• Stripe for payments

• Text Marketer for SMS alerts

• getAddress.io for postcode-to-address lookup

• SendGrid for transactional emails

• Google Maps API for routing

• Facebook / Google OAuth for authentication

Initially adapted from a cleaning service platform, NannySharing evolved into a highly specialized, legally compliant platform for childcare coordination in Switzerland. It’s a strong example of how custom software can empower niche services at scale.
