ChildMinder :  Access to Professional Childcare Providers

How many times are parents struggling to get proper healthcare for their children when in need or in case of a serious emergency? A couple decided enough was enough due to problems they personally encountered taking care of their child and came up with the revolutionary ChildMinder Application, an online platform (web and mobile app) that offers access to smart and professional child care providers was launched in May 2016.  Hence, the startup bridges the gap between parents looking for childcare and individuals who can provide these services, at affordable prices.

Chika and Funmi (Founders of Childminder) strongly believe that ChildMinder will promote and revolutionize the childcare industry, by combating these challenges:

  • Lack of qualified and properly trained child care professionals
  • Absurd charges by local agents who provide the nannies.
  • Difficulty in accessing efficient childcare providers in Nigeria
  • Direct access to childcare providers to prospective clients without the fear of ‘middle-men’.

This would not only help deliver on a value proposition but also support any strategic aspirations the government may have in this regard.

Asides fulfilling its primary value proposition, the platform will also publish rich content and advice on child legislation, child safety, home security, children charities, review children’s products and run commentaries on issues affecting children today. You can find out more on the website.

This is a great initiative and if more and more countries embrace this I foresee a drastic improvement in terms of healthcare and provision of health services for children.

 

As a parent what do you think about Childminder?
