What is Villaj?
Villaj is a modern solution to an age-old truth: "It takes a village to raise a child".
We connect local families with trusted helpers in their own communities for rides, babysitting, tutoring, pet care, and more.
Whether you’re a parent looking for reliable help or someone offering your time and skills, Villaj streamlines the entire process—from request to payment—all in one app.
Because when neighbors help neighbors, everyone wins.
Built from the ground up with one solution in mind.
How many times have we gone through this exchange?
Trying to find a sitter or a ride individually texting a bunch of people waiting to find a solution, before you can move along.
Or have a last minute cancel. Then, a scramble.
Texting.. Social Media... Frustration not Solution.
You post in a local Facebook group.
100 other moms are doing the same thing, all hoping to find a reliable babysitter or ride.
But the ones who could help—high schoolers, college students, trusted neighbors—
aren’t even there.
Social media wasn’t built to solve this.
There’s no real way to send a request that actually reaches the people in your neighborhood who are available and ready to help.
Until Now.
Villaj is built on help from who you trust.
Enter the request: what, when, where, how. You’re in control every step of the way.
-
You choose the task
-
You define the time & place
-
You see a suggested price (and can adjust it before anyone accepts)
-
You select who you choose for the task.
And most importantly…
You know who’s showing up — it's your neighbors, your friends. 💜
Other apps aren't built with your kids in mind.
Sure, there are babysitting apps and rideshare services.
Great for adults. Not-so-great for families.
Because let’s be honest…
You don’t know who’s going to show up.
"Vetted" or "rated" doesn’t mean known.
And no one’s better than someone from your town — someone you or your friends already know.
Trust Comes From Selecting People You Know.
You choose:
-
Everyone in your town
-
Just the people you know
-
Friends of friends
Want to pick just a few? Scroll and handpick specific neighbors.
You see exactly who is getting your request — real people, living nearby, many of them parents just like you.
And just like that... Help is on the way.
Whether you choose 1 or 100 helpers, everyone is notified and no need to follow up when it the request is filled.
You are informed every step of the way. From tracking driver progress, to making sure the kids are delivered safely, to their destination.
Your Villajer is on the way!
