When did you two last wake up without anyone climbing on you? A weekend getaway is possible — your kids spend two happy nights with a mama nearby, in her real home, with her real family.
Go. We've got the babies.Your Momni keeps every penny of her care income. Momni never takes a cut.
No agencies, no institutions. Just a mama in your neighborhood whose kids would love a weekend of new playmates.
Open the map and browse mamas near you who host weekend stays. Read their profiles, their reviews from other mothers, and what they've chosen to share about their home and family.
Visit her home with your kids before you book the trip. Let the kids find the toy bin. Ask every question on your list. You choose her — the way you'd choose a trusted friend.
Backpacks, blankies, the bedtime routine written on a card. Two days of pancakes and pillow forts for them; two days of quiet mornings for you. Photo updates whenever you want them.
Anna and Dave hadn't been away together since their oldest was born — six years. Every plan dissolved the same way: grandma's back, the sitter's prom, the guilt.
Then Anna met Marisol, a Momni twelve minutes from her house, at a park meetup. Their kids built a stick fort together. Two weekends later, Anna's three were having a sleepover at Marisol's — movie night, Saturday pancakes, a backyard campout in the playroom.
Anna and Dave drove two hours to a bed and breakfast, slept until eight, and remembered what their own conversation sounded like. The kids cried on Sunday — because they had to leave Marisol's. (Not ready for two nights yet? Start with one evening and find a Momni for date night. Dreaming bigger? That's an extended trip — same mamas, longer stay.)

The same way you'd come to trust a friend: you meet her. Momni is a community, not a childcare company — we don't choose your Momni for you, and we never will. You visit her home, meet her family, ask your questions, and decide. Mamas share reviews from other mothers on their profiles, along with any background check they purchased themselves and chose to display. The choice is always, entirely yours.
As much as you want. Most mamas agree on a rhythm at the meet-up — photos at breakfast and bedtime, a goodnight video call, or radio silence so you can truly unplug. You set it together before you go.
You and your Momni agree on her rate directly — every neighborhood and every arrangement is different. Payment goes straight from you to her, mom to mom. Momni never touches care payments and never takes a percentage. She keeps every penny.
That's what the meet-beforehand visit is for — and many mamas do a practice afternoon or a single trial night first. Kids settle fastest in a real home with a real mother, other kids, and a normal family rhythm. Bring the blankie, write down the routine, and let her mother them.
You hand her the whole playbook at drop-off — meals, meds, allergies, the exact order of stories and songs. She's a mom. She knows the bedtime routine is sacred, because hers is too.
