The kids are in school and the rush of the holidays is fast approaching. You may not have the little ones underfoot all day, but it’s likely that your job just got busier—driving everyone from school to piano lessons to soccer practice and home. And don’t forget homework (how could you forget?). But don’t fret! We’ve picked out some great local businesses with services that can help moms and dads get done what needs to be done so that these busy months are easier on the whole family!

Outsource the Carpool

Shuttling the kids around takes some major planning and organization. Add into that two working parents and you’ve got some major issues. These Bay Area companies can pick up Johnny at school and drop him off at home or soccer practice or trumpet lessons and you can feel good knowing that he can do the extracurricular activities he enjoys.

Shuddle offers real-time GPS tracking of your child in their app to allow you to see when Jane was picked up at school and when she was dropped off at her violin lesson. You can even set up carpools with up to 4 kids to save some money!
