SITIZEN Turns Spare Afternoons Into Neighborhood Childcare
A Chevy Chase and DC-area exchange connecting working families with student volunteers for free or low-cost childcare.
Field notes
Families provide a time, neighborhood, and description of their care needs, then review responses from available volunteers before confirming one. SITIZEN says exact addresses and contact details remain private until confirmation, while a dashboard records scheduled and completed care. Its profile system presents identity, community connection, recommendations, and listed training as separate labels; the page explicitly warns that training is not automatically verified. Optional contributions may be suggested, but the site says it adds no platform fee.
