See what arrives with every visitHow we’re different
Childcare that feels like a gift, not an errand.
Silly Goose brings personalized, play-based childcare wherever your family needs it. Parents are not booking a random caregiver from an app. They are inviting us, Ms. Goose and Ms. Swan, to create a little world for their child.
Planned around your child
Before we arrive, we learn what your child loves. The books, the sensory play, the games: everything is chosen for exactly who is waiting.
Always one of us
Every experience is led personally by Ms. Goose or Ms. Swan. You will always know who is coming, because it is always one of us.
Wherever you need us
Your living room, your hotel suite, your Airbnb, or the celebration you are hosting. We bring everything, and we tidy up before we go.

Inside the Goose Basket
- A themed story satchel
- Two carefully chosen books
- One invitation to create
- Nature treasures to explore
- A tiny tea set for tiny hosts
- A beautiful play blanket
- A soft music playlist
Children begin to associate the basket with adventure before it is even unpacked. Parents stop saying the babysitter is coming, and start saying: I wonder what adventure she is bringing today.

Good questions
What families ask first.
Five experiences, all built on the same heart: Home Adventures (childcare in your home), Vacation Play (hotels, resorts, and Airbnbs), Birthday Play Experiences, Wedding Childcare, and seasonal Pop-Up Play events. Every one is planned around your child's interests, age, and personality.
Private play care means you step out while Ms. Goose or Ms. Swan personally cares for your children: a date night, an evening at the parks, an appointment. A parent-present experience means we bring the curated play world to your gathering or event while a parent or guardian remains nearby. You choose the path when you book, and we confirm the structure with your reply.
Our experiences are designed especially for toddlers and young children ages 2 to 7: story satchels, sensory invitations, tea parties, nature treasures, music, movement, and imaginative play. Infant care is available by request for private family bookings, with gentle, unhurried routines.
Home Adventures begin at $120 for The Little Adventure (2 hours), with 4, 6, and 8 hour experiences at $220, $320, and $420. Vacation Play for hotels and Airbnbs runs $140 to $470 for the same experiences. Wedding Childcare starts at $350 with a custom proposal, and The Play Party for birthdays starts at $275. Every booking is confirmed personally before anything is owed.
Always Ms. Goose or Ms. Swan, the two of us behind the company. We never match families with a random caregiver. Larger groups and events are led by both of us together.
Curated play. Trusted care. Wonder brought to you.
