When You Need a Night Out
Want to go out for date night, or just want a night to yourself? Bambino makes finding a babysitter easy and simple. You can see all the available babysitters in your area, what their hourly rate is, and how they’ve been rated by other parents nearby. You can also pay them straight through the app, so there’s no hassle when you get home.

When You Need to De-Stress
Calm is one of the leading apps for meditation, sleep and mindfulness. You can choose short 3-minute guided meditation sessions or longer 25-minute sessions, whatever your schedule allows. Calm can help you manage anxiety and stress, improve focus, boost self-esteem and more.
