GROWING
TOGETHER
IN NEW WAYS
We understand the difficulty of balancing work and family, especially during these unprecedented times. At OpenStaff, we’re here to help you navigate it all through our In-Home Child Care and Educational Experience.
Our Educational Mentors are not nannies, nor babysitters, rather, they provide structure that allows your child and family to retain some much-needed normalcy. These fully vetted and certified early childhood teachers and practitioners use their knowledge and experience to help further your child’s education while providing a safe, fun and caring learning environment. From crafting and playing to learning foundational concepts, we are reimagining the classroom of today so your child can be the confidente learner of tomorrow.

Through our rigorous application process, we connect you with exceptional, highly qualified mentors for your child’s care and/or educational needs.
Working with children is a unique privilege, one that gives the gift of being able to positively impact the life of a young person at a key point in their development. In order to provide you with the most qualified individuals, while also ensuring your child and family’s safety, we conduct a highly selective screening process for prospective Educational Mentors.
In order to activate an account and apply for jobs within the OpenStaff network, all applicants are required to complete a rigorous vetting and qualification process. This includes, but is not limited to:
Our enhanced health and safety protocols align with CDC recommendations, as well as state and local requirements. We continue to consult with experts and monitor updated guidance to ensure our protocols evolve with new learning around COVID-19, so that your child, your family and our mentors are well protected.
We conduct daily health screens and temperature checks for all Educational Mentors through an in-app questionnaire.
We encourage face masks to be worn at all times while inside your home and interacting with your child.
We require all Educational Mentors to complete an online course that provides a basic overview and understanding of infection control and measures they can take to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

OpenStaff does not impose a minimum numbers of hours, although similar to other childcare programs, it might be hard to find a mentor willing to accept a booking for less than three hours. With that said, we still encourage you to post a job based on your needs!
We recommend using the fields "Job Description and Additional Information" to briefly provide relevant information, such as expectations, child allergies, house pets, etc., when posting your request.

No. Educational Mentors are independent providers within the OpenStaff network.
Unfortunately, No.
Established in the Terms and Conditions Agreement, all requests, communication, hires and payments must be placed through the app. In the event that an Educational Mentor accepted a job with a family she or he met through OpenStaff, we will be force to remove that individual from our network, meaning she or he will no longer be eligible to receive jobs through OpenStaff neither from you nor anyone else.
Yes, please do! We love meeting new people and having qualified childcare providers within our network.
