Where we come from

This company started in a Montessori school. Literally.

We’re an infant ourselves, learning to care for the world.

The three of us, Aashu, Gargi and Reshov, grew up in families that ran schools, among other people’s children and the teachers and caregivers who looked after them as their own.

Our careers took us elsewhere. Aashu was Chief of Staff at Xoxoday, where he built retention programmes for frontline workers. Gargi and Reshov built some of India’s best-loved games, Gargi at MPL and Gameskraft and Reshov at Gameskraft.

Then we started a community for parents, and it grew to more than 8,000 families. It always ended in the same place:

Where do I find a nanny I can trust?

We held back, until one of our closest friends gave up her career because she couldn’t find anyone. Every parent who can’t find care is a career on hold, and a country that’s poorer for it.

So we came home to what we know best, and set out to build the caregiver of the world.

Maasi is that conviction, built into a company.

What we believe

We’re a caregiver company that happens to serve parents.

Caregivers stay when they're valued

Fair pay, real training, career paths, and a team that picks up when they call. Our caregivers stay far longer than the industry norm — which means your child isn't meeting a stranger every few months.

Trust is built, not listed

Background verification, structured childcare training, and ongoing supervision on every placement. We stand behind every caregiver we place, because we chose her, trained her, and back her.

Childcare is skilled work

A newborn specialist, a toddler nanny, and a governess are different professions. We train and match for the exact age and stage of your child — not "someone available near you."

82%

Caregivers still with us at 60 days — vs. 55–65% across the industry

Average rating from parents

1 in 4

Caregivers join because another caregiver recommended us

That last number is the one we’re proudest of. Caregivers don’t refer their friends to places that treat them badly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maasi is a managed childcare service that helps families find, engage and manage reliable caregivers. We support the caregiver relationship beyond the initial introduction through payments, ongoing support and replacement assistance where applicable.

Finding a dependable caregiver is difficult for families. Parents often have to manage sourcing, screening, payments, leave, replacements and everyday problems on their own. Maasi was built to take that burden off the family and provide ongoing support around the caregiver relationship.

Maasi sources caregivers through its recruitment network and existing caregiver ecosystem. Most caregivers are pre-vetted before they are introduced to families. Where additional verification is required, Maasi follows its standard background verification process through third-party vendors such as SpringVerify and OnGrid after the caregiver is selected.

Maasi works with caregivers based on their experience, skills and childcare capabilities. Caregivers may also go through Maasi's training and onboarding process based on the requirements of their role.

Maasi completes the required onboarding and verification steps, helps you start the engagement and remains involved after the caregiver joins. We also manage the payment process and provide ongoing support.

Contact Maasi as soon as possible. We will help you manage the transition and work on a replacement according to the applicable replacement process.

No. We know that finding the caregiver is only the beginning. You continue to have Maasi support for payments, service issues, caregiver concerns and replacement needs throughout the engagement.

We keep the process simple. You first share your childcare requirement and pay a small registration fee. The registration fee is refundable as per Maasi's refund policy if you do not hire a nanny. Once you speak to your caregiver and are happy to go ahead, you confirm your Maasi subscription. You then pay the applicable subscription fee and the caregiver's monthly service fee going forward. Maasi manages the caregiver's monthly payment on your behalf.
