Our Story

Here at CareBuddies NYC, our mission is to address the need for more child care support in the healthcare community by connecting parents with pre-med students. In turn, we hope to provide pre-meds with unique opportunities to network with physicians/physicians-in-training. Often times, healthcare professionals-in-training are under strict financial and time restrictions. We aim to alleviate some of these burdens by having "care buddies", or volunteer pre-meds, chaperone the children of busy healthcare professionals to and from destinations. These destinations can be a variety of places, whether it be from school to soccer practice or from band practice to home. We believe the care buddy system will be a cost-effective and time-saving addition to existing childcare services. This initiative is based in New York City as the care buddy system is dependent on public transportation and walkable routes. As we are a new initiative, we are in need of volunteers so please reach out if you're interested in getting involved!
