A gourmet ice cream give-away is on its way to Washington Square Park.

New on-demand baby-sitting app, Hello Sitter — kind of like Uber for babysitters — will be giving away artisanal ice cream sandwiches from Melt Bakery on Aug. 13, inside Washington Square Park, to celebrate its launch.

The app, which lets parents book a sitter in as little as an hour, launched last month in New York.

The tasty ice-cream sandwiches will be handed out from noon to 4 p.m. at the park.

Hello Sitter will also give away free credits for babysitting, along with the icy treats.

Update: The app Hello Sitter changed locations for the event from Washington Market Park in TriBeCa to Washington Square Park. A previous version of the article said the giveaway was at Washington Market Park.
