Birmingham sitter app Wyndy is now offering its service in the Huntsville and Mobile areas.

Created in 2017 by parents Ginger and Tommy Mayfield, Wyndy is a mobile app helping families find, book, and pay vetted, background-checked college babysitters.

As well as a resource for parents, the app offers its sitters a chance at income as they pursue their education. The company estimates students in the Birmingham area have earned more than $8.5 million since the company’s launch.

Wyndy CEO Missy Polhemus said the company is excited to grow.

“Wyndy’s marketplace solution not only simplifies the process of finding a trusted sitter, it also allows parents to work with hundreds of providers based on the needs of their family,” Polhemus said. “This is a huge unlock for families who are looking for more flexible child care options.”

Wyndy currently operates in 10 states, according to its website.

Interested parents, and students attending school in the Huntsville and Mobile markets, can find out more about Wyndy by visiting the website and downloading the Wyndy app through the Apple and Android app stores.
