Why parents trust us

Safety isn't a feature. It's the foundation.

Every layer of Blockwork is built to protect teens and reassure parents. This is what makes us different.

Every booking gets a parent's sign-off.

Your teen can't accept a job without your explicit approval. You see the job details, the neighbor's verified profile, and the pay — then you decide.

ID-verified neighbors

Every adult passes a government ID + selfie check before they can hire anyone. No anonymous accounts, no exceptions.

Stripe Identity verification

Escrow payments

Neighbors pay up front. We hold it. Your teen gets paid only after the work is complete and you confirm it's done right.

Outdoor work only. Always.

Teens never enter a client's home — every job is outdoors or remote. It's the rule, not a suggestion.
