Step 1: Complete the homeowner registration form
Tell us who you are, where the task will happen, and what kind of help you need.
Need help with small tasks around your home?
LocalKid helps homeowners and tenants connect with local teens for simple paid jobs, starting with a safety-forward registration process.
Before your task can be posted, you’ll need to register as a LocalKid homeowner or tenant. This helps us support a safer experience for teens, families, and neighbors.
Registration is required before tasks are posted.
For the jobs that are too small to hire out, but too important to ignore.
Sometimes you don't need a contractor. You need a capable local teen who can help rake leaves, walk the dog, water plants, shovel a walkway, organize a garage shelf, or support a busy household for an hour or two.
LocalKid is designed to make that kind of neighborhood help easier to request, easier to manage, and safer to coordinate.
- Yard clean-up and seasonal chores
- Dog walking and pet care support
- Plant watering and vacation check-ins
- Light snow shoveling
- Tutoring or homework support
- Babysitting or parent-helper tasks
- Basic tech help for Seniors
Some tasks may require parent/guardian approval, age-based eligibility, or additional review.
How it works
What happens after you register?
Step 2: Complete and pass your background check
As part of LocalKid’s safety-first process, homeowners must complete a background check administered by Credibled before any task request can move forward.
Step 3: Your task is shared with Teens in your neighborhood
Once approved, your task is broadcast to eligible local teens and their parent or legal guardian. Once they express interest, you can select the worker that's right for the job.
Step 4: Confirm, complete, and pay through the platform
The goal is a simple, structured experience for both the homeowner and the teen, with safety, communication, and payment handled through LocalKid.
Why registration comes first
LocalKid works with teens, which means trust cannot be an afterthought. Homeowner registration helps us confirm basic information, understand the work environment, and create a more accountable task flow.
This extra step protects the integrity of the pilot and helps families feel more confident participating.
- Helps verify who is requesting help
- Gives LocalKid task details before posting
- Supports parent/guardian confidence
- Creates a more structured marketplace experience
- Helps identify tasks that may not be a fit
