Kiddocare, a locally developed platform for childcare services, was established in 2019 and matches parents with vetted childcare providers based on their preferences for time and location.
The company was founded as a project to develop an ecosystem to support working parents by providing them with the gift of freedom and time by connecting them with nannies to look after their kids.
Kiddocare also seeks to empower women by giving them a platform to pursue childcare as a career or as a source of additional income.
