Pary Moppins: Parent Mode Off
United Kingdom
Aim
We want to give parents more evenings out again by finding great plans and someone to look after the kids, all in one go.
Parents, you're about to actually go out more regularly again.
Date night, gigs, theatre, a nice dinner out,...
It starts with something simple: your Trust Circle.
Asking someone you know to babysit can feel awkward. You don’t want to chase. You don’t want to feel like you’re asking for a favour. So you just don't ask and stay in, while you could really use a break.
But most parents already have a network. It’s just not working smoothly.
That’s where we come in.
Pary Moppins helps parents activate the people they already trust: a favourite sitter, a friend who once gave you "free babysitting voucher", your cousin who keeps saying “just let me know.”
You tell us who’s in. We do the asking. On their terms. With clarity and ease. No guilt. No chasing.
With the sitter sorted, the fun part can begin.
Once your Trust Circle is live, a yellow envelope lands on your doorstep. Inside? Three brilliant nights out already planned around your preferences. Restaurant bookings. Hidden gigs. Comedy nights. Quiet corners and good cocktails.
You choose what suits your mood. We coordinate your sitter. You go. No mental load. No flaking. Just a plan that actually happens.
Hi, we’re Fred & Sara.
Parents of three, and co-founders of Pary Moppins.
After becoming parents, away from our families, going out stopped happening. Concerts, date nights,... Not because we didn’t want to. But because it was always too much: Too many texts. Too many logistics. Too much guilt.
We didn’t need another app selling babysitters. We needed a system. The sitters we already knew. A plan we didn’t have to make. A reason to actually leave the house.
So we built it, and tested it in two London neighbourhoods. Now we’re crowdfunding to bring it to more parents across the UK.
Here’s how it works
✔️ You add trusted people to your Trust Circle.
✔️ We make sure they're happy to be added to your Trust Circle.
✔️ You tell us what kind of nights you like.
✔️ We do the coordination: sitter, plan, all of it.
✔️ We send you 3 handpicked plans each month in the post.
✔️ You choose your favourite and go.
Result
One night a month that’s actually for you.
“What’s inside? Cocktails? Comedy? A table for two? Let's find out.”
So, here's our invite for you
✔️ You tell us what kind of nights you like.
✔️ We send you 3 handpicked plans each month: date night, restaurant bookings, concert, theatre, etc.
✔️ We coordinate your sitter from your Trust Circle.
✔️ You choose 1 plan. We do the rest.
Result: You leave the house more often, feeling like yourself again.
Why the Trust Circle matters
Most sitter apps are marketplaces. Strangers, profiles, and a lot of hoping for the best. Pary Moppins isn’t a marketplace. We just help you tap into the the people you already know and trust, more often. Without feeling guilty for asking. Without the awkward back-and-forth.
You give us names. We do the rest: asking, scheduling, confirming, coordinating.
And if you don’t have a strong network yet?
Some of our rewards include sitter sourcing support to help you build your Trust Circle from scratch.
What's Inside the Envelope?
Every invite includes
- 3 real plans, not just suggestions
- A sitter from your network already coordinated for each plan
- A bright yellow envelope delivered to your door
- And every once in a while, a little surprise.
We combine anticipation, ease, and one monthly ritual to help parents go out more, with none of the usual mental load.

Why we're crowdfunding
We’ve proven this works. Manually, with real parents and real sitters. Now, it’s time to build the next version. Smarter, smoother, and scalable.
Your pledge helps fund:
- Trust Circle automation + sitter coordination tec
- Smarter discovery for better nights out
- Expansion to 6 UK cities
- Printing and delivery of the yellow envelopes
Every pledge helps a parent switch parent mode off.
Every pledge is a signal that this should exist. And every pledge is a step closer to making more time out a reality for parents across the UK.

From Couch to Out Again – 4-Month Program
This one’s for the parents who want to go out again — but feel stuck.
Over 4 gentle, supported months, we help you rebuild the habit of going out, without stress or mental load.
We’ll help you find sitters you trust, send curated plans (based on your time, vibe and budget), and guide you through one outing a month — starting small and building confidence as you go.
What to Expect
Month 1 – Start Small
- 1:1 onboarding call to get to know your life + blockers
- Map your Trust Circle (family, friends, potential sitters)
- Receive your first printed invite — no pressure, just inspiration
Month 2 – Build Trust
- We source 5 local sitter options for you to screen
- Help you arrange two test sits while you’re still at home
- Guide you through how to ask, assess, and feel in control
Month 3 – Your First Outing
- We help you plan your first real evening out (local, low-key)
- Sitters fully briefed, plan arranged — all you do is show up
- Get your second invite in the post to make it feel real
Month 4 – Go Further
- One more outing — a little further, a little freer
- You’re now more confident, with a sitter you trust
- Reflection support + ideas to keep the habit going
