Care That Works When Employees Do
Parenting isn’t 9–5. Neither is Apiari. We provide flexible, trusted care for mornings, evenings, weekends — even overnight. Whether it’s backup, part-time, or last-minute help, Apiari supports employees when life happens.
Built for Hybrid Work
Wherever work happens, care follows. Whether they’re home, at the office, or traveling, Apiari flexes with your employees. It’s the only benefit that fits today’s hybrid work.
Sleep for New Parents
Apiari is the only platform that allows parents to book trusted night nannies, or newborn care specialists, on-demand. Subsidizing sleep has never been so easy.
Only Pay for What’s Used
With Apiari, employers pay only when care is booked — no upfront costs, no paying for unused daycare space. It’s flexible care that’s cost-effective too.
No FSA? No Problem.
We provide dependent care receipts that help employees deduct expenses at tax time — no benefit plans or extra paperwork needed.
A benefit employees already love.

"Crystal was amazing! We came home and our son was fed, had a bath and was fast asleep. The apartment looked great and our dog was quietly sleeping on the couch. We honestly have never had such an awesome experience with a babysitter."
