The part we will never rush.

A Buddi cannot appear in a single search result until they have cleared a background check, an interview, reference checks and manual approval.

Before a Buddi is ever shown to you

Background check

A current criminal background check is required before a Buddi can appear in any search result.

Interview

Every Buddi sits down with our team. We ask about experience, judgement and how they handle the hard days.

Reference checks

We contact real references from prior childcare, tutoring or camp work before approval.

Company approval

Final approval is manual. Only ACTIVE, approved Buddis are shown to families.

On the walk itself

Walking only

Pickup Buddi never puts your child in a car. No driving, no rideshare, no exceptions.

Updates at both ends

You get a message at pickup and again at arrival, so you always know where your child is.

On-platform messaging

Conversations stay inside Pickup Buddi so there is a record of every plan and change.

Private until confirmed

School details, medical information and emergency contacts are shared only after you and your Buddi both confirm.

Questions about safety?

We would rather answer them now than have you wonder later.
