Safe rides and childcare for kids, from preschool to high school, 7 days a week. Kango - for families going places!

Kango helps you get your kids where they need to go:

With Kango, book rides and babysitting from pre-screened drivers and sitters. All Kango drivers and sitters have at least 3 years of childcare experience, and have passed our comprehensive screening process (including fingerprinting, background checks and DMV checks) and training to ensure they can provide the best, safest service possible. You can even request your familys favorite drivers, or interview them in advance.

Kango serves CA - SF Bay Area, LA, Modesto/Stockton, Orange County, and San Diego - and Arizona (Phoenix and Tucson).

As featured in Dow Jones Marketwatch/WSJ:
“Uber-for-kids services like Kango are growing, [...] A similar service to Uber but reserved solely for kids? Totally cool. That is what 8-year-old [Kango passenger will tell you.”

From a mom:
“All in all, the service has been a godsend for our family (two kids, two adults who work full time). We plan to use it even more as the kids grow older and their interests diverge, necessitating more parent time driving to their different activities.”

PRAISE FOR KANGO

FROM PARENTS:
“I chose to use Kango because it is the most convenient way to get around with a toddler. The drivers are screened and they have their own car seats which saves a lot of hassle.”
~Blanca

"I work full time so I thought Id have to skip opportunities for my kids that are off site from school/after-school care...so finding out about Kango was great! My son, who is often tentative with new people and processes, is completely comfortable and enjoys the rides (and story times!) with the driver."
~Leah G.

FROM KANGO DRIVERS AND SITTERS:
"I love being a part of the Kango family, especially driving the little ones ...I can interact directly with parents in the app and schedule my rides ahead of time. Its an app with a human touch."
~Stassa
