Cocorio Creative Childcare

Corinna and Léa are on a mission to give working parents the support they need to excel in their careers while being the best parents they can be. Through guilt-free and flexible child care arrangements and by supporting freelance creative professionals, the pair have come up with a concept which seamlessly supports families by ensuring there is added value to regular child care, and by offering part-time work to creatives, which is within their expertise. 

The award winning CocoRio specialises in matching families with creative professionals for smarter child care solutions for children aged 0-15. Think: your child’s favourite creative class, but in your home and entirely tailored to them, plus all your child care needs taken care of! CocoRio sitters are fully vetted creative professionals who perform childcare duties and share their craft with the children they care for. They work with actors, musicians, puppeteers, mask makers and plenty of other artists! Many are also multilingual and can offer sessions in a number of languages which is a wonderful way to expose your children to additional languages at a young age. Not only is the service useful for families, it is also equipping children with invaluable skills. The pandemic has accelerated automation; meaning the 4th industrial revolution we were scared of is hitting us at the speed of light. We must prepare our future and our children for an unusual job-market. Child development needs to take centre stage and creativity may well be the key. According to a report from the McKinsey Global Institute, the demand for higher cognitive skills, including creativity, will rise almost 10% by 2030. This invaluable skill will become essential for problem-solving, strategising, and generating the ideas that will drive businesses forward. Creativity is no longer a skill innate to musicians, painters or performers. It is and will be a vital skill required for every single role in the future.
