Cara in action

It’s Wednesday. Cara texts you.
Hey Sarah! Emma and Liam (4 & 6) are both free Saturday morning. How about Washington Park at 10am? The weather looks great.
New to the neighborhood?
Welcome to Alameda! There are 12 families here with kids your age. Want me to find you a playdate this weekend?

Parents love CaraLink

“We moved to Alameda last year and knew zero families. Within a week of joining CaraLink, my daughter had two new best friends and I had mom friends for coffee dates.”
Jessica T.
Mom of 2, Alameda CA
“As a single dad, it's hard to break into the parent social scene. CaraLink made it easy. No judgment, just families who want their kids to play together.”
Marcus R.
Dad of 1, Brooklyn NY
“The matching is scarily good. Every family it suggested had kids within months of my son's age and they all lived within walking distance.”
