“I found up kid through indeed. I've been working with UpKid for over a month now. My favorite thing about it is the kids, my favorite thing about the app is being able to choose my schedules and it's impacted my life by showing me that I love working with children.”

“My name's Anna and I just completed my first shift with UpKid today. I found it on Handshake, looking for different jobs through my university, I'm a full-time student, and I really enjoyed today to be able to like know that I'm helping out at a place that's short-staffed and get to interact with the kids and have fun and also be able to take shifts as they work for my schedule. So it's just a good feeling and I'm sure it's good karma and the bonus is the pay.”
