Transparency

Exactly what Momni is, what it isn’t, and what that means for you — in plain English, on purpose.

Last updated June 11, 2026 · Applies to momni.com and app.momni.com, operated by Momni, Inc.

The one thing to understand: Momni is a community of mothers — a way to widen your own neighborhood so you can meet more moms. It is not a childcare provider, an agency, or a checking service. Everything that happens between members is between members. Getting to know someone, deciding whether to trust her, and choosing what to arrange is your job — exactly as it would be with a new neighbor.

1. What Momni is — and isn't

Momni is a community platform. We give mothers tools to find each other, get to know each other, and arrange care with each other directly. Momni is not a care provider, a daycare, a nanny agency, an employer of caregivers, or a referral service. We do not provide, supervise, direct, or control any care, and we make no representation about any member.

Think of Momni as the front porch and the neighborhood bulletin board — a bigger place to meet other moms. We do not stand between you and the mother you meet, and we are not part of any arrangement you make with her.

2. We do not check, evaluate, or endorse anyone

Every member is on Momni because she signed up — not because Momni chose, investigated, approved, or stands behind her. Momni does not run background checks, confirm identities, evaluate fitness, or pass judgment on any member. We make no promises and no assurances about any member's character, history, honesty, home, or how any arrangement will turn out.

In plain English: a mama appearing on Momni means she joined — nothing more. Knowing her is your job, just like with any new friend.

3. You build your own trust — like meeting a neighbor

Trust on Momni is built the way it has always been built between mothers: in person, over time, with your own eyes and your own judgment. You are solely responsible for deciding whom to meet, whom to trust, and what to arrange. We strongly encourage you to take your time — meet first, ask questions, request and check references, start small, and trust your instincts. If something feels off, walk away. See our Suggested Momni Conduct for the practical steps we recommend.

4. Reviews and ratings are opinions — not assurances

Reviews, ratings, and stars on Momni are member opinions. They are written by moms, about their own personal experience, and they reflect only the views of the member who wrote them. Momni provides the tool to ask for and leave reviews, but Momni does not evaluate whether a review is accurate and does not adopt or endorse it. A glowing history is one person's experience — it is not a promise about what your experience will be.

In plain English: reviews are moms sharing opinions with moms. Useful — but they are not a stamp of approval from Momni, and they are not a promise about your situation.

5. Background checks are member content

If a member chooses to share a background check, she purchased it herself and chose to display it herself. Momni does not obtain it, confirm it, interpret it, or stand behind it. A shared report is information one member chose to show — it is not something Momni has reviewed or relies upon, and you should weigh it with your own judgment like any other information.

6. Money is strictly between members

All payments for care are made directly between members. Momni never processes, holds, transmits, or insures care payments, never sets care rates, and never takes any percentage or commission on care income. Any payment question or dispute is between the members involved. Momni's only charges are platform fees (membership, Links, Momni+) that are never connected to care payments.

7. No promises, no assurances

Momni makes no promise or assurance of any kind about members, arrangements, homes, or outcomes. We do not assure you that any member is trustworthy, that any home is suitable, or that any arrangement will go well. Using Momni means you understand and accept that the responsibility for your choices — and your children — is yours.

We strongly encourage every mama to use the same care she would when leaving her children with anyone new: meet first, ask hard questions, check references, go slow, and trust her gut. Please read our Suggested Momni Conduct.

8. Two entities, one brand

momni.com and app.momni.com are operated by Momni, Inc., a for-profit company. The Momni Foundation (momnifoundation.org) is a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit with separate finances and governance. One brand, two entities, separate wallets.
