2. Moxi

Moxi provides daycare on-demand by partnering with top daycares and their existing families to sell unused daycare days through Moxi for a reasonable daily price.

In a LinkedIn post, Founder Cori Fain shared the inspiration behind starting Moxi.

“For the mom who is over-stimulated and needs a day of peace, for the parent who missed the big meeting because their sitter canceled at the last minute, for every caregiver who would pursue something new if only they had the extra support, we see you.

We are you. Moxi was built for you.”

Cori Fain, Founder and CEO, Moxi

Moxi will provide the most flexible and accessible childcare on the market from day one. There are no contracts, commitments, or fees; you only pay for the care you need.
