A grandbaby on the way? Let’s plan how Mom helps, her way.
Freezer meals, laundry, the first visits and rides to appointments. Mom decides how she helps Grace and the baby, the people around her fill in the rest and everyone gets a little more sleep.
An illustrative example
Every new baby is different. Use this as a starting point, and talk to a navigator about what fits your family. It’s free.
Who’s this plan for?
Pick who’s at the centre and we’ll write this page around them.
The first months, planned together
Here’s what the first months often look like. Use it as a guide, share it with your Circle and change anything that doesn’t fit Mom.
Line up help close to home for the first weeks
Compare local companies, see who your Circle already uses or ask your Circle for a name. Here’s how it will work in The Market. The names below are examples.
Car seat checks
A trained tech installs the car seat and shows you how, before the baby comes.
Meal delivery
Hot dinners for the new parents, dropped at the door twice a week.
Baby shop
Diapers, wipes and registry gifts, delivered right when they’re needed.
Cleaning
A fresh clean every other Friday, so the new parents can rest, not scrub.
Groceries
Everything for a big batch-cooking day, with Mom’s list delivered to the door.
Massage
Time that’s just for Mom, because helping is easier when she’s rested.
Keep the neighbours close
The neighbour next door can share freezer space, water the plants on baby days and knit a tiny hat. Share just that part of the plan, nothing more.

A freezer meal day
Mom leads a batch-cooking day and anyone who’s free brings a pot. Grace’s freezer fills up in one afternoon.
How to choose well
Questions we suggest asking any company before you say yes.
Everyone who helps, in one Circle
Family, friends, local pros and the apps you already use. Mom stays at the centre and decides who’s in. The names here are examples.
Not sure who to include? Start with our Circle builder.
Prompts for everyone from her bank to the baby shop, plus the things Mom wants to do. It’s free, takes about 10 minutes and you can download your list to keep and share.
Build Mom’s CircleLess chasing, more living
Pearl keeps everyone in the loop so nobody has to hold it all in their head.
Ask for a hand
Post a request once. The right person says yes, and everyone sees it’s handled.
A daily check-in
Mom shares how she’s feeling in one tap between cuddles, and the Circle can send a smile back.
One shared calendar
Visits, deliveries and checkups in one place, so nobody double-books.
Mom decides who sees what
Trusted Providers only see the steps they’re part of, nothing more.
Questions families ask
Something else on your mind? A navigator can talk it through with you.
No tech skills needed. Mom can check in with one tap, or let her Circle handle the details while she stays in charge of her days and who sees what.
Yes. Mom picks her days and her jobs and can change them anytime. The Circle sees what’s covered, so saying no never leaves anyone stuck.
Starting a Circle is free, and the person at the centre is always free. Plus is $15 CAD a month, with a 14-day free trial.
Only the people in the Circle, and only what they are invited to see. Trusted Providers see the steps they are part of, nothing more.
Yes. A Pearl navigator can help you get started and find local help. It is free, with no account needed.
You’ve got a lot of living to do. We’ll help with the rest.
Start a free Circle around Mom before the baby comes, or talk to a navigator who can help you set it up.
More moments
Big changes and everyday ones. Each moment starts with the people around you.
Hosting the holidays
The menu, who brings what, rides and dishes, shared so the host gets to enjoy the party too.
Moving in together
The room, moving day, house rules and costs, planned together so everyone feels at home.
Your first year of retirement
A class, a trip, pickleball and long coffees with friends. A new rhythm, planned on your own terms.
