A New Chapter in Caring for Families.
Chippercare is a family-owned childcare company, rebuilt for the way modern families live.
From an idea that began more than a decade ago to a technology-enabled platform backed by the creative experience of Cleverstreet, our mission remains unchanged: helping parents find trusted, dependable care.
A Family Business With a Bigger Vision.
Chippercare isn’t a cold corporate aggregator or an impersonal listings board. It is a family-owned company built by a husband-and-wife entrepreneurial team who understand that the most important businesses aren't always the ones that sound the most complicated.
Sometimes the most meaningful companies are the ones that solve an everyday problem for real families.
We believe that technology should make childcare easier, clearer, and more accessible—without ever stripping away the human warmth, empathy, and personal trust that makes childcare meaningful.
A New Chapter. Built on an Old Idea.
Chippercare takes the spirit of our original childcare business and combines it with a modern operating model.
The Chippersitter Foundation
More than ten years ago, the original childcare concept began under the name Chippersitter. The premise was simple: families need dependable, vetted people they can trust to care for their children in their own homes.
The Cleverstreet Ecosystem
Cleverstreet Productions was established in Texas, building a next-generation ecosystem combining filmmaking, artificial intelligence, software, and production infrastructure to remove friction from complex creative processes.
Chippercare Relaunched
Chippercare returns under the unified leadership of Michelle & Nathaniel Hallford—combining original childcare values with modern technology, professional sitter development, and expanding across Texas.
Because Some Problems Are Too Important to Ignore.
Entertainment and technology can create extraordinary opportunities, but childcare solves a fundamental human need.
“We’ve built companies around ideas before. Chippercare is different because the outcome isn’t just something you can watch on a screen. It’s a parent getting to work on time. A child having a safe, positive evening. A sitter finding meaningful work. A family getting a little breathing room.”
— Michelle & Nathaniel Hallford, Co-Founders

Built by Entrepreneurs. Designed for Families.
Chippercare is its own dedicated company with its own mission, backed by the creative technology experience of Cleverstreet.
"Cleverstreet taught us something important: technology is most powerful when it disappears into the experience."
Parents shouldn't have to think about complex software behind childcare. They should simply know that booking care is easier, communication is clearer, and the sitters caring for their children have been thoughtfully selected.

The Founders' Philosophy
People First
Technology exists to improve the human experience, never to replace genuine human warmth and empathy.
Trust Matters
Childcare requires a higher standard of screening, transparency, and responsibility than ordinary gig marketplaces.
Build for the Long Term
The goal isn't simply to make bookings. It's to build a company families and sitters can grow with over decades.
Make It Better
Take something traditionally complicated, uncertain, or stressful and make it feel simple, reliable, and delightful.
We're Building This One Family at a Time.
The first version of this company started more than a decade ago.
The world has changed. Families have changed. Technology has changed.
But one thing hasn't: Parents still need people they can trust.
That's why Chippercare is here.

A new company. A familiar mission. A much bigger vision.
