Stoop vs. the competition
Most marketplaces compete on how many caregivers they list. Stoop is built the other way around: a smaller, local, carefully matched group of sitters, nannies and tutors — and a premium experience for the families and caregivers who use it.
| Stoop | Typical marketplaces | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it works | Your NYC neighborhood | A nationwide list you filter yourself |
| Finding someone | Matched to your kids, schedule and neighborhood | Searching a long list on your own |
| What the caregiver keeps | 100% — sitters and tutors pay no fees | Fees and lead charges that vary |
| Daily updates | A private feed of meals, naps and milestones | Not part of the standard experience |
| Backup coverage | A one-tap replacement you approve | You start your search over |
| What you are paying for | A curated, premium experience: unlimited posts, matching and updates | Tiered features and upsells |
Why families choose Stoop
- Every caregiver on Stoop is local to your neighborhood, so they know the streets, the schools and the shortcuts.
- Matching is based on your kids, your schedule and what you actually need — not on who paid for the top of the list.
- Caregivers keep 100% of what you pay them, so the experienced sitters, nannies and tutors stay.
- Daily updates and one-tap backup coverage mean you are never left guessing how the day went.
- A small New York team answers your questions — not a call center reading from a script.
