How it works

SOSitter wasn’t built in a boardroom. It was built from lived experience.

Meet Our Founder

Mackenzie Hart spent over a decade as a hands-on caregiver for children, pets, and elderly loved ones before building SOSitter. The idea didn’t come from a whiteboard. It came from watching single parents scramble, sitting with her aunt after a stroke, and knowing that no one caregiver can reach every family who needs help.

"We're put on this earth to help one another. SOSitter is how I act on that belief at scale."

What started as a local solution in Columbus, Ohio is growing into a national caregiving ecosystem one that treats care as a calling, not just a transaction, and free subscriptions are provided to families who need them most.
