Gone for days? Your kids are home — in a Momni's home.

A convention, a work trip, the family reunion, the vacation you've owed yourselves for years. While you travel, your kids live a normal week with a real Momni — not a facility, not a rotating staff. A Momni, their kitchen, their bedtime stories.

Travel far. They stay mothered.

Your Momni keeps every penny of their care income. Momni never takes a cut.

Plan it the way Momnis plan things: carefully, then completely.

Multi-day care deserves more than one meeting. So that's exactly how Momnis do it here.

1

Find a Momni

Search the map for Momnis near you who host multi-day stays. Read profiles, reviews from other Momnis, and everything they've chosen to share about their home, their family, their days.

2

Visit — then visit again

For a longer stay, most Momnis plan two or three visits before the trip: a meet-up at the park, an afternoon at their house, maybe a trial overnight. By departure day, their home isn't new — it's familiar. (Many families start smaller, with a weekend getaway first.)

3

Travel with a clear head

Drop off the kids, the routine, and the emergency list. Then board the plane. Daily photo updates and scheduled check-in calls keep you close — from three time zones away.

You'll know how the days are going. Every day.

Longer trips need a rhythm of reassurance. You and your Momni set it together before you leave.

📸

Daily photo updates

Breakfast faces, fort-building, the bedtime pile-up on the couch. Most Momnis send a little album every day — proof of an ordinary, happy day.

📞

Recurring check-ins

A goodnight video call, a morning text, a Sunday recap — whatever rhythm you two agree on at the planning visits. It's your trip; it's your rhythm.

🏠

A real home, a real Momni

Not an institution. Your kids eat at a family table, play with their kids, and get tucked in by a Momni who knows how Momnis tuck.

📝

Your routine, kept

School pickups, soccer practice, the allergy list, the exact lullaby. You write the playbook; they run the week by it.

"Five days in Chicago. Zero frantic phone calls."

When Priya got picked to present at her industry's biggest convention, her first feeling wasn't pride — it was panic. Five days. Two kids. No family within a thousand miles.

She found Beth on the Momni map, eight minutes away, a Momni with three kids of her own who'd hosted long stays before. They met at the park, then twice at Beth's house, then did a single practice overnight two weeks before the trip. By the time Priya flew out, her kids were asking if they could bring their scooters to "Miss Beth's hotel."

Every evening in Chicago, Priya got a photo album: homework at the kitchen table, taco night, her youngest asleep mid-story. She gave her presentation, took the questions, and flew home to two kids bursting with five days of news.

"She mothered them while I was gone."

Extended care happens inside a family's normal week — school runs, taco nights, and all.

The long-trip questions, answered like a sister would.

How can I trust someone with my kids for days at a time?

By getting to know them — really know them. Momni is a community, not a childcare company. We don't choose your Momni for you, and we never will. You meet them, visit their home as many times as you need, and decide for yourself, the way you'd choose a trusted friend. Momnis share reviews from other Momnis on their profiles, plus any background check they purchased themselves and chose to display. The choice is always, entirely yours.

How long can a stay be?

That's between you and your Momni. Momnis host three-day convention trips, week-long work travel, ten-day reunions abroad. The longer the stay, the more visits you'll both want beforehand — and many pairs do a trial overnight stay first.

What does a multi-day stay cost, and how do I pay?

You and your Momni agree on their rate directly — daily or for the whole stay, whatever you two work out. Payment goes straight from you to them, mom to mom. Momni never touches care payments and never takes a percentage. They keep every penny.

What about school, activities, and medications?

You hand over the whole week: school drop-off times, the practice schedule, dosage charts, the pediatrician's number, your travel itinerary. They're a Momni running a household — your kids' week slots right into theirs. Put it all in writing at the last visit so nothing lives only in your head.

What if something comes up while I'm away?

You'll have set this up together before you leave: who they call first, your backup local contact, and how to reach you fast. Between daily updates and your scheduled check-ins, you're never more than a message away — and neither are they.

Say yes to the trip.

The convention, the reunion, the vacation — go.

There's a Momni near you who has hosted weeks like this before, and their kids are already hoping yours will come. Find them, meet them, plan it together.
