Childcare works better when it stays close to home.
My Village is a small, private care circle for parents and caregivers who want to share support with people they trust in Camden and nearby coastal Maine communities.
The pilot promise
Familiar people. Clear requests. Less scrambling.
Private membership
People can join through a personal invitation or a verified membership payment.
Privacy-first
Profiles and care requests are visible only to approved members.
Local context
Dates and times stay grounded in Camden time and local life.
One hour for one hour
The care model is reciprocal: members give care and receive care in return, without payments or publicly listed circle resources.
This is an early, human-scale pilot. Public local resources are listed separately; circle profiles and requests remain private. There are no ratings, bidding, or open regional circle discovery. A verified membership payment opens access only after successful payment confirmation.
How it works
A simple loop for a real neighborhood.
The circle is intentionally small. Each approved member can introduce themselves, see who is active, and share a care need with the group.
Join privately
Use a personal invitation or complete a membership checkout that is confirmed by the payment service.
Make your profile useful
Add your name, role, and nearby community. Share only what helps the circle care well.
Ask the circle
Create a dated request with local time, duration, and the context your neighbors need.
A neighborhood-sized start
Built for Camden, Rockport, Lincolnville, and nearby coastal communities.
The care circle is private; public local resources are maintained separately. We are learning what local families need before we make the circle larger.
