Here's the whole thing, end to end. If something is unclear, that's on us — tell us.

Book a SidekickSee pricing →
  1. 1

    Sign up

    Name, email, phone, your zip. Tell us about your kid: what helps, what doesn't, what a good sitter would want to know going in. Add a payment method, upload a photo ID. We verify it ourselves before your first booking.
  2. 2

    Pick a path

    Standard membership at $100/month for 3 hours. Premium at $200 for 7. Or drop-in at $45/hour with a $50 first-time onboarding fee. Cancel any time — we won't make it weird.
  3. 3

    Book a Sidekick

    Tell us when, how long (2-hour minimum), and anything special. We surface 1–3 Sidekicks who fit your kid's profile, your part of town, and your timing. Two-minute videos and bios on every card.
  4. 4

    Confirm

    If you want to talk to a Sidekick first, we set up a free 20-minute video intro. Otherwise, hit confirm. The Sidekick has up to 4 hours to accept; if they pass, we offer it to the next match automatically.
  5. 5

    The booking itself

    Your Sidekick arrives, taps in. You hand off, head out. They text if anything comes up. They tap out when you're back. You confirm in the app. That's it.
  6. 6

    After

    Both of you rate the booking. The Sidekick gets paid on a schedule that depends on their tier — new Sidekicks in 7 business days, Trusted in 1–3, Instant Sidekicks same-day. You can favorite a Sidekick to make them show up first next time.

A few common questions

How long until I can book my first Sidekick?
Most families finish onboarding in under 10 minutes. Once your photo ID is verified, you can book right away. The Sidekick accept window is up to 4 hours, so for same-day bookings give yourself a buffer.
What if I'm not sure which Sidekick to pick?
Watch the 2-minute video on each card. Read the bio. If you'd like to talk first, we'll set up a free 20-minute video intro before you confirm. The Sidekick is paid $10 for that call so it's a real conversation, not a sales pitch.
What does the Sidekick actually do during the booking?
Companionship and supervision. They follow your house rules, your routine, your notes. They do not give medication, they do not run behavior plans, they do not chart sessions. If you need any of that, you're in the wrong place — and we'll happily point you to the right one.
