Safety & Policies

Your safety is our top priority. Learn about our screening process, guidelines, and policies.

🔒 Privacy & Communication

All Communication Through Libby

For safety, teens and families do not directly exchange contact information. All initial communication and scheduling happens through Libby's Lending Hands. This protects both parties and ensures proper oversight of all jobs.

Contact Information

Full addresses and phone numbers are only shared when necessary for job completion. Teens receive job location details only after being matched and confirmed. Families receive teen contact info only after confirmation.

👤 Screening & Verification

Teen Screening

All teens go through a registration process that includes:

  • Profile verification and review by Libby
  • Emergency contact information on file
  • Skills and experience verification
  • Community references when available

Adult Verification

Adults can become verified members for added trust. Verification includes confirming identity and local residence. Verified adults receive a badge on their profile visible to teens.

⚠ Report Concerns Immediately

If you ever feel unsafe or experience inappropriate behavior, please contact Libby immediately at libbyslendinghands@gmail.com or (848) 565-5668. We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly.

📅 Cancellation Policy

For Families

Please provide at least 24 hours notice when canceling a job. Last-minute cancellations without good reason may affect your ability to book future jobs. We understand emergencies happen - just communicate with us.

For Teens

Reliability is essential. If you commit to a job, you're expected to show up. Cancellations should be rare and communicated as early as possible. Repeated last-minute cancellations may result in removal from the platform.

📝 Guidelines for Everyone

Be Respectful

Treat everyone with kindness and professionalism. Discrimination or harassment of any kind is not tolerated.

Communicate Clearly

Be clear about expectations, timing, and any special needs. Good communication prevents misunderstandings.

Be Punctual

Arrive on time for jobs. If you're running late, communicate immediately through the app.

Pay Promptly

Families should pay immediately after job completion via Venmo or cash as agreed.

Leave Honest Reviews

Reviews help maintain quality. Be honest but constructive in your feedback.

Follow the Law

All parties must comply with local laws regarding teen employment, driving, supervision, etc.
