You're already raising babies. Hosting on Momni means a few more little ones at your table, real income on your terms, and a Circle of mamas who have your back.
You set the rates. You keep every penny.Momni never takes a cut of your care income. Not a percentage. Not a fee. Hosting is always free.
From the Momni archives, 2018–2019
Most platforms take a slice of every dollar you earn. Momni takes zero — and always will.
Hourly, overnight, multi-day — you decide what your care is worth. No company minimums, no maximums, no algorithms.
Care payments go mom to mom — cash, Venmo, however you two agree. Momni never touches a caregiving dollar.
Momni never takes a percentage of your earnings. What a mama pays you is yours, all of it, every time.
No listing fees, no subscription required to host, ever. The Circle grows when doors open — so opening yours costs nothing.
Tell your story — your kids, your home, your days. Write it the way you'd tell a friend over the fence.
Simple toggles for what fits your life: Right Now, Date Night, My Regulars, Night Shift, Weekend Getaway, Extended Trip. Flip them on and off anytime.
Mamas nearby find your pin, message you, and meet you — at a Circle meetup, a park, your porch. You both decide if it's a fit.
Her kids join your day. She pays you directly. You leave each other honest reviews, and the Circle grows. (And if hosting isn't your season right now, mama, there are other ways to stand in the circle — come volunteer with us.)
Mamas choose you because they get to know you. Your profile is yours to build — here's what the Circle looks for.
After each hosting arrangement, mamas can leave you a review. Honest words from real mothers are the heart of how the Circle gets to know you.
You can purchase a background check yourself, from a provider you pick, and choose to display it on your profile. It's your content and your choice, start to finish. Momni doesn't run it, review it, or require it.
Photos of your playroom, your backyard, your crew. The things that make your home yours are the things that make a mama feel at home.
It's optional, it's voluntary, and it's the most Momni thing a host can do. Pledged hours go to mothers in your own community who need care and can't pay right now — mama to mama, no middleman. Flip the pledge toggle on your profile and wear it proudly.
Any mother who wants to open her home and her day to other mamas' children. There's no application Momni approves or denies — you create your profile, tell your story honestly, and the mamas in your area decide for themselves whether you're their Momni. Momni doesn't evaluate or endorse anyone; the choosing happens mama to mama.
However you like. Most hosts look at what care costs in their neighborhood and price by the hour, the overnight, or the day. You can set different rates for different care types, and change them anytime. Whatever you charge, you keep all of it.
Income you earn hosting is your income, and the taxes on it are your responsibility — Momni isn't your employer and doesn't withhold or report anything for you. Many hosts talk with a tax preparer about how to track and report what they earn. Keep simple records from day one and you'll thank yourself in April.
Caring for children in your home can affect your homeowner's or renter's coverage, and every policy is different. Before you host, talk with your own insurer about what your policy covers and whether you want to add anything. It's a fifteen-minute call worth making.
A Link is what we call a booking made through Momni. Each time a mama books you — not just the first time — she pays $1 for that Link (sold in bundles). That tiny dollar per booking is the only thing Momni ever charges, and it's how we keep the lights on without ever touching your care income. The care payment itself is always between the two of you, paid directly to you. Hosts never pay for Links — only the mama booking does.
Takes about ten minutes. You can pause hosting anytime.
