Welcome to öogo
Finding and Booking Childcare Online is harder than it needs to be and the world is full of good people who are passionate about minding children. These are the two foundational beliefs that formed öogo.
Our Founding Story
öogo was founded on the belief that the world is full of good people and that childcare deserves better tech! The world is at a crucial intersection. On the upside, we are more mobile, flexible, and equal than we’ve ever been before. Women no longer question whether they can do any job (they can!) and ambition in women is no longer frowned upon. The next generations are keen to see the world and they are bringing their children with them. We have all become used to living our lives from our phones. Literally everything nowadays is “touch button” easy to source, book, schedule and organise from a phone. Except childcare. öogo is on a Mission to fix that!
Our Mission
öogo’s mission is to forge the path to seamlessly organised childcare. öogo's intricate scheduling tool layered with our Meaningful Matches™ tech takes the guesswork out of Finding and Booking Childcare.
Childcare is Broken
The Global Childcare Infrastructure is broken and does not adequately meet the needs of today’s mobile, flexible hybrid-working parents. Things are constantly in a state of flux and this impacts everything from day-to-day childcare - the oxygen of the modern family - to holiday cover or those sneaky emergency days where things just go wrong last minute and you still need to work.
The öogo Way
öogo has a unique way of solving the childcare crisis. By introducing Parents to carefully selected and vetted Minders™ ahead of time, we ensure that they have cover for every planned and unplanned situation. Parents use The öogo Platform to browse and securely message vetted Minders™ with a wide variety of availability and they make arrangements with those that best suit their individual needs, creating Clusters of Care™ within their dashboards.
Partnering with Employers
öogo is moving away from the era of box-ticking corporate childcare benefits. Our solutions provide meaningful supports which drive meaningful data around retention, wellness, equality, ESG and, crucially, productivity. With öogo solving childcare gaps and challenges, parents can return to work, thrive at work and reduce missed days at work. By partnering with öogo, companies can support working parents with the Number #1 thing they care about ... their kids.
Join Us
At the moment we work through corporate partnerships so get in touch if you want us to ping your HR, DE&I, Wellness, or ESG peeps or book a demo if you are already one of those peeps who is curious to see how, together, with local communities and great tech, we can all achieve work-life balance and feel better about the littlest ones in doing so.
For Companies
