How it works

Up and running in four steps.

Designed to be safe at every stage — not just at signup. Here's exactly what happens from account creation to a completed job.

Students sign up with their @ihsd.us email. Families use any email. Every account is reviewed by an admin before access is granted.

Post babysitting, yard work, errands, or tutoring with the date, time, and pay. Background-checked families only.

Approved students browse open tasks and apply for the ones that match their schedule and skills.

When a family selects a student, in-app messaging opens. Payment is arranged directly between them.

Safety

Every safeguard, explained.

Safety isn't a feature — it's the foundation Assistly is built on.

Every student and family is manually reviewed before they can access the platform. No anonymous users, ever.

Students must sign up with their @ihsd.us email, confirming they're a current member of the district.

Families complete a third-party background check before they're allowed to post tasks or contact students.

Students and families can't contact each other until a match is confirmed — all messages stay on-platform.

Any user, post, or message can be flagged. Admins review every report and can remove content immediately.

Students who need parental consent must have signed forms on file before their account is activated.
