Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of gigs can students do on StudentGigs?
All 29 listed above, plus anything students can safely do that fits under General Tasks. Tutoring, babysitting, pet care, yard work, event help, tech setup, and plenty more.
Do students babysit on StudentGigs?
Yes. Babysitting is one of our most-booked categories. Students set their own rate, parents see every booking and message, and payment is handled in-app once the sitter is done.
What's the difference between Babysitting and Mother's Helper?
Babysitting is for when the parent is out and the student is responsible for the kids. Mother's Helper is for when the parent is home and the student helps with the kids, dishes, snacks, and whatever else keeps the day moving. Mother's Helper is a great starting point for younger teens.
Can students shovel snow and do yard work?
Absolutely. Seven of our 29 categories are yard and outdoor work: mowing, raking, weeding, watering, hedge trimming, mulching, and snow shoveling. Neighbors provide the tools; students bring the time and energy.
Is there a minimum age for certain gigs?
All students must be at least 13. Some gigs, like babysitting younger kids or handling pets in unfamiliar homes, work better for older teens. Parents approve every gig before it begins, so the final call is theirs.
How do I pick the right category when posting?
Pick the one that matches the main task. If you're not sure, pick General Tasks and describe the job clearly. The more specific you are in the description, the better the matches you'll get.
