Kenya - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

Pata nanny is an innovative and convenient solution designed to cater to the modern parenting landscape. The app is set to redefine childcare by seamlessly connecting parenting with trusted and qualified babysitters

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

The idea of Pata nanny requires nannies to create an account, upload their IDs/passports & facial verification. They will also be able to see parents or guardians who need the babysitting services, check the price they are willing to pay, location they are in, send a job request and after their job request has been accepted they contact the parent or guardian and after they are done with their work they update the job page where they are required to fill in the start time, end time, start date, end date, total hours completed & submit through the app. The payments will be done through our site and sent to them directly because in case of any complaints we can easily follow up, the nannies can rate & submit reviews about the work. The parents/guardians will also go through the same verification process as the nannies, giving a short description about the child eg if they have a condition/allergies, seeing nannies who are near them & how much they charge & book them.
