MyHarambee: A Trusted Community Where Families Help Each Other

Connect with verified families in your community for mutual childcare support. MyHarambee is a peer-to-peer platform where families render help to get help creating a supportive network within your community.

KEY FEATURES:

Verified & Safe Community All families undergo thorough background checks, DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) and KYC (Know Your Customer) verifications, and mandatory training to ensure your children's safety. We follow strict standards to ensure all families are verified, trained, and aligned with regulatory guidelines. Verification isn't a one-time event, DBS status is rechecked automatically and continuously, and families are prompted to renew safeguarding evidence before it ever lapses.

Real-Time Session Safeguarding Your peace of mind doesn't stop at the front door. During every session, providers check in when care begins, sessions stay within the agreed care area, and planned outings are logged so you always know where your children are. Providers share live updates meals, naps, activities, and moods, and every session ends with a full session log showing exactly how care went, from check-in to check-out.

Render Help to Get Help This is a reciprocal system where families help each other. When you offer childcare support to other families in your community, you earn points that you can use when you need help. It's a community-driven approach where everyone contributes and benefits.

Seamless Service Requests Easily request childcare support from families in your community. Browse available families, view profiles, check reviews, and request services directly through the app. Manage and track all your childcare needs in one place.

Token-Based System Earn points by helping other families in your community, referring new families, participating in promotions, completing training courses, and engaging in the community. Use points to request childcare services when you need help. The more you help, the more help you can access.

Community Engagement Join conversations that matter. Connect with other parents and families, share experiences, and build a supportive network within your community. "It takes a village to raise a child" and MyHarambee brings that village together.

Secure Messaging Communicate safely with other families through our built-in messaging system. All interactions are secure and monitored to maintain a safe environment.

Learning & Development Access educational courses and training materials to enhance your childcare skills. Complete courses to earn certificates and additional points.
