On-Demand Babysitting App Wyndy Giving Away a Free Year of Babysitting

Birmingham, AL — Wyndy, the on-demand babysitting app that provides parents with access to its expansive network of vetted, background-checked college babysitters, has just launched its Year of Free Babysitting Giveaway.

The Giveaway is open to parents in all of Wyndy’s existing markets. To enter, parents simply need to post a job on the Wyndy app between September 23 and October 21. The start date for the posted job must be before November 1, 2020. Each posted job during that window (up to a maximum of 3 per user) will be treated as an entry into the Giveaway. It’s free to post a job and parents will be entered into the Giveaway regardless of whether they choose to book a sitter. Wyndy will conduct a drawing on October 22 to choose a winner, who will receive $3,900 in Wyndy credit (the equivalent of $75 in Wyndy credit per week for a year), which can cover the cost of Wyndy sitters whenever they're needed.

“As dual-income working parents, my husband Tommy and I created Wyndy to help ease the stress parents experience when trying to find a trusted babysitter, especially on short notice or during daytime hours. The last six months have only added to the stress parents experience around childcare, and we want parents to know how Wyndy can lighten their load,” says Ginger Mayfield, Wyndy’s co-founder and a mom to two young daughters.

Since Wyndy launched in 2017, the app has generated an impressive track record for meeting parents’ babysitting needs, especially last-minute and daytime needs, which have historically been the hardest for parents to fill. “Over the past six months, daytime jobs have made up almost two-thirds of all Wyndy jobs. Since March, 90% of jobs posted on Wyndy were booked and completed, and 80% of last-minutes jobs were booked and completed. Additionally, the most common amount of time it’s taken to connect a parent to at least one sitter ready to work their job is just 27 seconds,” says Tommy Mayfield, Wyndy’s co-founder and CEO.

With September being Self-Care Awareness Month, now felt like the right time for the company to announce the giveaway. “Many parents today, especially moms, are being asked to do the nearly impossible task of managing their careers, relationships, and their children’s learning, all with very little support. Wyndy is uniquely positioned to provide some of that support,” says Ginger Mayfield.
