I'm Orsolya, the founder of Mamasitter.
Before my son was born, I thought I was busy... I was constantly juggling multiple tasks and activities, including long working hours, an active social life, a relationship, a household, self-care and personal growth, family, etc. Despite my schedule being packed, I was confident that I can make everything fit in.
​
Once my son was born, I still craved my old lifestyle and wished to continue with all my activities... Although, as much as I believed in the superpowers of a mom, the reality was that I couldn't squeeze in all the things I wanted into my child's naptimes.
This is how the idea of Mamasitter was born.
Hello
The story of Mamasitter
Starting from my personal struggle, I looked for solutions on how I could create the possibility of having time for other things besides my little goofball. Our extended family lives too far away to help out regularly, and although my close friends were willing to lend a hand, I felt that I could not abuse the favour. I considered the daycare to be too early and that would not have been a solution for the evening programs anyway. There was no other option but to hire a babysitter, but even finding the right one is not easy, not to mention how much it would bump up the budget for a simple night out at the movies or for grabbing a casual drink at the bar.
In November 2022, together with a few members of a local moms' group, we formed our own babysitting exchange group just to see how it goes. The Mamasitter platform was born out of our experiences and lessons learned there.
Mamasitter is still in its early stages and has room for development. To make it perfect, we're counting on a larger community of mothers to join us and help make it the best it can be.
Mission
Mamasitter aims to be the support system for mothers with young children, offering them much-needed relief and a sense of belonging. New moms will find tons of supportive content and services to help them be the best mothers they can be. Mamasitter's mission is to empower women to rediscover and embrace their identities beyond motherhood, hold onto what truly matters to them, and strike a new balance in their lives.
