Why us?
There’s a villain among us, a real threat making children as young as 2 years old anxious and depressed.
And it is the screen.
There’s a NASA test to spot creative genius and 98% of toddlers pass but only 2% adults do.

What are we doing to our children?

Children have been spending hours parked in front of Peppa Pig.
Until one day a musician and an actor, yours truly, began bringing their creativity into their child care jobs as part time nannies.

We realised we could sing, dance and use our imagination to create exciting worlds. Why would we let our children stare mindlessly at screens any longer?

CocoRio was born.

We bring creatives with spare time: musicians, actors, dancers into the child care industry and turn babysitting into the most creative time of day!

5.9 million children in the UK are being looked after by a nanny or babysitter every single week and each and every one of these is an opportunity for creativity .

This week alone CocoRio is sending over 40 creatives into London based families to bring a spark of joy to over 60 children.

Currently raising funds via Fund My Pitch.
