About us

Linking Families With Community Based Help

Stintz was born out of the frustration of finding trustworthy help on the one hand and other the other seeing many people with talents and skills not knowing how to use these skills to help other people and earn some money.

Our marketplace was founded in 2024 with the mission of unlocking the power within communities to help each other and thrive.

Impact

At Stintz, we’re all about unlocking the potential in our communities by tackling household challenges and creating job opportunities.

Inspired by the idea that “it takes a village to raise a child,” Stintz connect people who need help with those who have the time and skills to offer.

We aim to empower community members to market their skills and help others to make neighborhoods more vibrant and thriving.

Mission

Stintz’s mission is to bring community members together, making it easy for them to support each other with shared services.

Our platform helps you quickly find local help and allows service providers to list their skills, get ratings, and earn extra income. We serve families looking for a variety of services and individuals ready to offer their time and talents.

From au pairing and tutoring to pet sitting and sports coaching, Stintz covers it all. With honesty, empathy, and clear communication at our core, we aim to build a reliable and dynamic community network.

Vision

Our vision is to become South Africa’s top marketplace for community-based family services.

We see a future where Stintz nurtures a vibrant, supportive community where everyone helps each other thrive. By making our platform user-friendly, trustworthy, and helpful, we aim to be the go-to spot for families seeking child, elderly, and pet care services.

Ultimately, Stintz wants to enhance the quality of life in our communities, making them better places for everyone to live and grow.
