Yes, we’re serious.
It seems like parents want to hire professional nappy changers… and we really don’t know what to think.
Listen, we know it’s not a very glamorous job, and you will probably end up with God knows what on you, but it’s just something you have to get used to.
Well, Childcare.co.uk originally posted about the nappy service as an April Fools joke, but it turns out that a lot of parents wanted it.
“We’re always looking for new ways to make parents’ lives easier — so today we’re launching ‘Nappy 999,’ an Uber-style peer-to-peer service for nappy changing!” the Facebook post read.
“We’ve seen a big rise in the demand for nappy changing help through our platform, and are now offering Nappy 999 responders for all your nappy-related emergencies. Available Anywhere, Anytime.”
The website left is as a joke but when they checked their notifications later on, they were shocked to see that people actually wanted the service and were willing to pay for it.
They said they were “inundated with comments from people who thought it was genuinely a great idea.”
Richard Conway, co-founder of Childcare.co.uk told the Daily Mail: “We knew we wanted to do something to mark April Fools’ Day this year and do something that is quite obviously a joke but also fun, but we never anticipated it would take off quite like this, who would have thought that nappy changing is a genuine service that’s in demand?”
Well Mamas, would you pay for the service?
