Find trustworthy help for your everyday life
From childcare to household help to tutoring — verified service providers for everything you need.
The Helpful Folks promise
We've learned from the mistakes of other platforms. At Helpful Folks, quality, reliability, and trust come first.
Triple-checked identity
No anonymous profiles, no fake identities. We actively verify three things: Is the profile photo real? Is the address valid? And is the ID card genuine? Only after all three checks pass is the profile activated. Trade license and liability insurance are collected as self-declarations — providers with insurance receive a visible trust badge.
No more ghosting
Sound familiar? You reach out and never hear back. At Helpful Folks, things are different: every inquiry deserves a response. Providers who repeatedly fail to respond are removed from the platform. This guarantees you can rely on every contact.
Meet personally via video call
For personal services like childcare or elderly care, a video call before the first booking is mandatory. This way, you get to know your provider face to face beforehand. No blind trust — a real introduction.
Full transparency on prices and reviews
What you see is what you pay. The displayed hourly rate is your final price — no hidden fees, no commissions. Real reviews from real customers. Qualifications, experience, and availability are visible to everyone.
