CHICAGO FIRST
At BL!SS, we believe that communities don’t just happen—they’re built with intention, heart, and purpose. That’s why we’re starting where roots run deep and dreams rise high: Chicago.
The Bliss app will begin with 300 pioneering families who are helping us bring the BL!SS vision to —a vision grounded in belonging, fueled by collaboration, and inspired by possibility. Together, we’re crafting an ecosystem that redefines what it means to live, grow, and thrive side by side.
This is more than a local launch—it’s the blueprint for a brighter, more connected future. And it all starts right here.
Why Choose the BLISS APP?
All sitters are locally vetted, background-checked, and have verified professional childcare experience.
Teachers can set their own schedules and rates, while parents can conveniently search by date or find their preferred BL!SS Sitter.
In-app chat allows parents to directly communicate with sitters about dates, while sitters can manage their requests and bookings by adding and updating their calendars.
This tool is for parents and teachers - sitters, offering subscription plans of one-time, monthly, or yearly options for parents.
