About ExpenseFam

Our mission: to make tracking and invoicing cash childcare payments simple and stress-free.

In mid-2024, I became a new parent. I was lucky to work for a company that offered generous parental leave, so the first few months were spent with the baby and childcare wasn't much of a concern. Eventually, though, we both returned to work and had to find a permanent childcare arrangement.

In all the excitement (and tiredness) of new parenthood, I realized that I hadn't yet taken advantage of my employer's Dependent Care FSA program. With the final submission deadline looming, I had to piece together invoices from Care.com, receipts from cash payments sent to our sitter, and even more cash payments for our part-time nanny share. I finally got all the documentation I needed, but after submitting everything, I vowed that next year would be better.

And that's why my friend Le, a fellow software engineer, and I made ExpenseFam: the simplest way to track cash payments for childcare and generate FSA-compliant documentation in just a few clicks. Since then, I've been up-to-date with FSA reimbursement claims, and my hope is you can to.

Give it a try, and let us know what you think.
