Aaniie adds Corp Care Agent to speed childcare backup bookings

Aaniie launched new Aaniie Kids capabilities, including a Corp Care Agent that syncs Bright Horizons opportunities into one dashboard, to help childcare agencies book corporate backup care faster and win more business. The company says the update reduces portal hopping, automates scheduling and can increase fill rates and revenue for agencies handling employer-sponsored care.

Why it matters: - Corporate backup childcare is becoming a more important revenue stream for childcare agencies. - Faster booking and simpler scheduling can help agencies respond to employer-sponsored care requests before opportunities are lost. - Aaniie is pitching the update as a way to reduce administrative work while improving fill rates and client satisfaction.

What happened: - Aaniie rolled out new features in Aaniie Kids on July 22, 2026. - The update centers on a new Corp Care Agent that brings Bright Horizons opportunities into the Aaniie Kids platform through a live sync. - The new workflow combines that live sync with Aaniie’s Quick Match functionality to speed up corporate backup care bookings. - The platform is designed to let agencies manage the full backup care workflow from a single dashboard.

The details: - Aaniie Kids receives backup care jobs directly in real time, instead of requiring agencies to monitor external provider portals. - Agencies can organize requests in a centralized scheduling dashboard. - Agencies can assign shifts manually or let caregivers claim open opportunities. - Quick Match can book a client with a preferred caregiver. - Agencies can set customizable auto-booking rules based on their own preferences. - Scheduling options include booking by date, arrival order, or best caregiver match. - Multi-day requests can be split into individual shifts. - Caregivers can view available corporate care opportunities in the Aaniie Kids mobile app. - Aaniie says the platform helps agencies reduce response times, streamline booking workflows and secure more corporate backup care opportunities. - The company describes Aaniie Kids as an all-in-one, AI-enabled platform for babysitting agencies, nanny agencies, newborn care and doula providers, and corporate backup care organizations. - The platform includes CRM, family and caregiver management, scheduling, matching, communication, billing, payments, payroll and reporting. - Aaniie directs interested users to Book a Demo for more information.

Between the lines: - The release shows Aaniie targeting the operational bottleneck in corporate backup care: speed. - The emphasis on real-time opportunity syncing and automated matching suggests the company is trying to reduce the friction that comes from juggling multiple systems. - A testimonial from Joanna's Nannies points to a second selling point: giving caregivers more visibility and control over scheduling while reducing manual data entry. - Scott Zielski, Aaniie CEO, said agencies need speed and simplicity to serve more backup care requests.
