It's 7am, school is closed, your shift starts in two hours, and your group chat has gone quiet. Momni shows you the Momnis in your neighborhood who can take your kids today — this very hour.
You're not stuck. You're surrounded.You pay your Momni directly, mom to mom. Momni never takes a cut.
Three steps. No waitlists, no agencies, no interviews scheduled for next Thursday. Just Momnis who are home today.
Open the map and see which Momnis near you have marked themselves available right now. Real Momnis, real homes, walking distance to a few miles away.
Read their profile, see what other Momnis have shared, message them, ask every question on your mind. You choose them — the way you'd choose a friend.
Bring the kids, the snacks, the blankie. You pay them directly, mom to mom — they keep every penny, and Momni never touches the money.
The text comes in at 6:48: "So sorry, I'm sick, I can't come today." And you stand in the kitchen in one shoe doing the math — the meeting you can't move, the partner who's already gone, the mom who lives four states away.
Here's what Karmel learned from 26,000 Momnis: the help was never far away. They were three streets over the whole time — a Momni with cheerios on the floor and room on the couch, who knows exactly what 6:48am feels like because they've lived it too. You can read letters from Momnis who've lived it over in Circle Stories.
Momni just makes them findable. The rest is what parents have always done for each other.

You're trusting another Momni with your babies. Ask us anything — and then ask them everything.
As fast as a Momni near you says yes. The Right Now search shows only Momnis who've marked themselves available today, so you're not messaging into the void. Many Momnis hear back within minutes — but it depends on who's circled up in your neighborhood.
No — and we're upfront about that. Momni is a community, not a childcare company. We don't employ, supervise, or make representations about any member. You choose your Momni: you read their profile, you ask the questions, you make the call — exactly like choosing a trusted friend in the neighborhood. Momnis share reviews from other Momnis, and any background check a Momni has purchased themselves and chosen to display lives right on their profile.
Whatever you and your Momni agree on. Each Momni sets their own rate, and you pay them directly — cash, Venmo, however you two decide. Momni never processes care payments and never takes a percentage. They keep every penny.
Please do. Message them in the app, video chat, swing by for five minutes at drop-off and look around. Any good Momni expects your questions — they ask the same ones when they need care for their own kids.
That's the best part. Today's emergency Momni often becomes your regular. Save them to your Links and check out My Regulars for standing weekly care.
Coffee's on, toys are out, and they have room on the couch for yours. Open the map and see who's available today.
