Titli, which means butterfly, was the loving nickname Geetika had for Akanksha, which is now the logo and central theme of SitByCare, as a tribute to Akanksha.

Akanksha was a freshman at University of Chicago and wanted to become a child neurologist. She was born & raised in Houston, Texas.

Our Story

SitByCare, a platform founded by Geetika Sinha, aims to provide companionship and support to people & families in need. Founder Geetika Sinha, who holds a Masters Degree in Accounting and a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from the University of Houston, started this journey when her only child Akanksha spent two and a half months in the intensive care unit due to a prolonged, critical illness.
Geetika's personal experience with her daughter's extended hospitalization opened her eyes to the loneliness patients and their families often face. “For the first time, I saw, experienced, and realized how a patient’s life in a hospital could be so full of loneliness and despair,” said Geetika. “Even though I was going through my own trauma, at times, I envisioned the hospital to be more interactive, friendlier—an environment where patients can hope and feel better.”
Although Geetika sadly lost her daughter in 2017, her loss became the catalyst for a lifelong purpose. She dedicated herself to ensuring that no patient or family feels alone during their tough times. Determined to make a difference, she embarked on a mission to create a more interactive and compassionate environment for patients and families. But this was not it.

Few years later, the pandemic served as another catalyst for evolving this mission into something bigger. As the world grappled with the effects of social isolation and loneliness, she again experienced the profound impact it had on individuals and their mental well-being with limited opportunities for interaction and emotional support.
Recognizing this increased need for human connection and emotional support, she sought to bridge the gap between those seeking companionship and individuals who could provide it.

Leveraging technology and innovative solutions, she created a platform, SitByCare where individuals can find warm and supportive companions to accompany them along their journey. Whether it is virtual engagements or safe in-person interactions, she aims to foster meaningful connections that will alleviate the feelings of loneliness exacerbated by the pandemic.

Through SityCare platform, she aims to bring hope, comfort, and companionship to those who need it most. By connecting people with empathetic and caring individuals, she has created a space where the healing power of human connection can flourish, even in the face of physical distancing.

As the world gradually recovers from the pandemic, Geetika's continuous effort to creating a service that addresses the emotional and mental well-being of anyone and turn adversity into an opportunity for positive change has become the driving force behind the mission of SitByCare.



Several Modern Healthcare publication note that while the evidence on the impact of loneliness is strong, research on effective solutions is still scarce. SitByCare is one solution that can work to overcome the growing unmet need of companionship to alleviate loneliness, one of the biggest epidemic in America.

SitByCare is an impactful and rewarding platform where those interested in providing companionship and care to people in medical and care facilities or at home can receive comprehensive training, a flexible work schedule and high hourly rates. And those seeking personalized care and companionship can feel confident knowing their needs will be met, and their loved ones will benefit from reliable care they can count on bringing more hope and joy into each other’s lives .

“I am very happy I have been able to come this far with the support of a great team, partnership with people who have understood and believed in my vision and dedicated their time and effort to make it happen.” - Geetika
