When elephants sense one of their own is vulnerable, the mothers turn inward and form a circle — every calf protected at the center. No contracts. No corporation. Just mothers, circling up.
On March 16, 2017, Karmel learned about the global childcare crisis — 350 million children who need care and can't get it — and saw that same circle: mothers protecting each other's babies as their own.
Momni is that circle, made real. Mom + omni — Latin for all. Because the answer to the childcare crisis was never a corporation. It was always us.

Momni gives mothers the tools to find, know, and choose each other — the way you'd choose a trusted friend in the neighborhood.
You meet her, ask your questions, and decide — just like choosing a friend. Momni doesn't make that choice for you, and never will.
Care payments go mom to mom, directly. Momni never touches a caregiving dollar and never takes a percentage.
Mamas choose what to share on their profiles — reviews from other mothers, and any background check a mama has purchased herself and chosen to display.
Through the Momni Foundation, the Circle helps fund an hour of care for a mama in need — mother to mother, around the world.
