My Inspirational Journey: A Special Note from a Napp Sitter

(Written by Anonymous)

“I had always adored children and found immense joy in caring for them. I started babysitting as a teenager, eager to help my family members and spend time with little ones who filled my heart with happiness.

As I continued my babysitting gigs, I discovered that each child I cared for brought something special into my life. From the curious toddler who taught me to see the world with wonder and awe to the imaginative preschooler who sparked my creativity, I found myself growing and learning alongside the children I babysat.

As the years went by, I realized that babysitting was not just a job for – it was a source of joy, fulfillment, and personal growth. The children I cared for taught me valuable lessons about patience, kindness, and the beauty of simplicity. I learned to see the world through their innocent eyes and to appreciate the little moments of joy that came with each babysitting gig.

Babysitting had not only provided me with valuable skills and experiences but also filled my heart with an abundance of love and gratitude. And so, with a heart full of love and a smile on my face, I continue my babysitting adventures, knowing that each child I care for leaves a lasting impression on my soul. In the world of babysitting, I had found not just a job, but a source of endless joy, love, and cherished memories that will stay with me forever.

Connecting with Napp

“I want to share a bit about how I heard about Napp and my experience getting started. The ease and support I experienced from day one was so refreshing. 

While attending a training session at my college, I found myself sitting next to a woman I didn't know. Coming onto campus after being in such a virtual environment for so long, was somewhat intimidating. We were both busy on our laptops and didn't talk for about the first 30 minutes. Eventually, we struck up a conversation, and I discovered that the woman beside me was a co-founder of a local business, called Napp. As our conversation unfolded, I realized that I could begin taking Napp gigs as a side hustle while I am in school, within the next few days - I was thrilled to hear there was option for me that I could get started with so quickly.

Excited by the opportunity, I signed up and downloaded the app then and there. The co-founder helped me get everything set up on the spot, I was amazed at how simple the process was! I had to wait for my background check and references to be contacted before I could start, but once I got the green light, my experience with Napp was fantastic - and has continued to stay that way. 

How Napp has helped me

“Napp has helped me in so many different ways, but here are some of the things I have enjoyed most:

  • Flexibility: The app allows me to choose gigs that best work for me. It shows the location and distance from both my residence and where I currently am located. You can even do multiple gigs in a day and prevents you from booking overlapping gigs; I once booked three gigs in the same neighborhood on the same day!!

  • Extra income: The rates are competitive for supplemental income and families are so generous about tipping (100% of tips left come straight to us!). 

  • Mental well-being: This is a huge benefit for me. Before starting with Napp, I was often idle and easily stressed out. Now, my schedule is pleasantly filled in ways that work best for me, and that leave me excited to continue booking and meeting new families (I have made so many great, local connections through the network!).
