Pickup Buddi LLC is a transportation and supervisory service providing parents with a safe and reliable form of afterschool transportation. Our Buddis pick up grade school students, escort them home, and supervise them until a parent returns home – making afterschool routines stress-free. Busy parents often need help in securing reliable and consistent afterschool transportation for their children due to their demanding work schedules. These parents often struggle to find the help they need from professional caregivers, and when they do, it’s neither consistent nor reliable. This is because traditional professional caregivers are hesitant to commit to short shifts of 2 or 3 hours. When they do take these jobs, they treat them as temporary positions until they find full-time employment. Pickup Buddi solves this issue by connecting parents with student babysitters, rather than adult caregivers. Students with younger siblings often have experience babysitting and are eager to work. Students prefer the brief and flexible shifts that parents offer because it doesn’t interfere with their academic commitments. This connection ensures parents have a consistent after-school pickup solution, eliminating the need to find new caregivers.
