Trusted In-Home Child Care, Built Around Your Family

Every family deserves care they can feel confident about. At Star Harbor, we provide dependable, compassionate in-home child care designed around your family’s unique needs, routines, and schedule. Whether you need support unexpectedly or care you can count on week after week, our goal is simple: to provide trusted caregivers who bring consistency, comfort, and peace of mind into your home.

Trusted by families. Designed for employers.

When Regular Care Is Unavailable

When school closes, a sitter cancels, or work runs late, families need someone they can trust at home. These are the hours Star Harbor is built for.

Last-Minute Coverage

We arrange in-home care when school closes for weather, a sitter cancels the same morning, or daycare is short-staffed. One conversation is usually enough to get a caregiver on the way.

Peace Of Mind

Your people can stay in a meeting or at their desk, knowing their children are at home with a caregiver we would trust in our own home.

Simple For Employers

Add in-home backup care as a workplace benefit without building a program from scratch. We handle screening, matching, and the shift, including snow days, sick sitters, and late meetings.

Vetted Caregivers

Every caregiver is background-checked, referenced, and prepared to walk into a new home with little notice, whether the need is one afternoon or a full day.

Care changes. We’re here when it does.

When regular care falls through, our team is ready to coordinate in-home childcare for your family.

Why Star Harbor exists

It started with someone showing up when I needed her most.

When my daughter was born during COVID, my family could not travel to help. A caregiver became essential support — someone I could depend on when I needed her most.

Years later, that same caregiver lost work when her agency left Dallas–Fort Worth. I started Star Harbor so families would still have someone to call, and so caregivers like her would still have a place here.

How Care Is Arranged

We match a screened caregiver to your home, stay in touch through the shift, and keep the same standard whether it is one afternoon or a workplace program.

Dependable care helps employees remain present and focused when challenges arise.
