About

Built by parents, for parents.

Waitlist Buddy started as a single Notion page after a 2 AM cry over a tangled spreadsheet. It's grown into a small, focused product for families navigating the daycare maze.

We're a tiny team based in Calgary. We make Waitlist Buddy because finding childcare shouldn't feel like another full-time job. Our jobs are to do the boring parts — searching, filling forms, tracking emails — so you can do the human parts.

We don't take money from daycares. Providers aren't ranked by who paid. Search results are based on licensing, distance, and what you actually told us you need.

If we ever feel less calm, kind, or honest than this — write to us at hello@waitlistbuddy.ca. We mean it.
