Post a job with the details that matter

A clear post helps nearby workers understand the task, check their availability and apply with the right expectations.

  1. 01

    Choose the kind of help

    Start with a category such as cleaning, mama fua, childcare, a repair, delivery, a booked service, a quote-based job or a crew/shift. Add a title, description and useful skills.

  2. 02

    Say where and when

    Add the neighbourhood or town and county. Set the appointment or start date, completion deadline and optional application closing date. For delivery, add pickup and drop-off stops.

  3. 03

    Set people, pay and proof

    Choose the number of workers or shifts. Set fixed, hourly, daily, per-shift or route-based pay—or ask workers to inspect and quote. Choose relevant documents, vehicle types, GPS checks, photos, checklists or signatures.

  4. 04

    Review applicants and choose

    Publish, review applications and worker profiles, shortlist people, then hire or invite the right person. Agree the scope and practical details before work starts.

  5. 05

    Follow the job through

    Use the job workspace to follow progress, messages, check-ins and submitted proof. Approve attendance and completed work; approve requested expenses or quote changes before they are added.

Post your first job
Clear steps, safer choices

Your job stays in your hands

You set the details, review who applies, and decide when to hire and approve the work.

Find the right kind of help

Post local household work—from laundry and cleaning to babysitting, plumbing, delivery, moving, cooking, events, gardening and repairs.

  • One-off tasks, appointments, quotes and shifts
  • Add skills and instructions for a better match

Protect your exact location

Workers see the area and county, not your gate or house number. An optional map pin is approximate, not an exact address.

  • Delivery stops stay private to your hired worker
  • Contact numbers are masked for the worker

Review workers before hiring

Check a worker’s profile, skills, ratings and ID-verification status. Every hire requires verified ID; add approved document or vehicle requirements when the job calls for them.

  • Shortlist applicants before deciding
  • Set the number of places or workers you need

Agree the plan and proof

Set dates and payment basis. Ask for photos, signatures, a checklist, GPS check-in, attendance or delivery handoff proof where appropriate.

  • Compare itemised labour and material quotes
  • Approve requested expenses first
Budget and payment

Check payment arrangements before you hire

The posting flow supports fixed, hourly, daily, per-shift and distance-based pricing, or worker quotes for jobs that need inspection. A price estimate may be available for supported work. Household M‑Pesa checkout is live, so you can pay by STK Push from your account. Agree the final scope and pay before work starts. Approve completed work before payment is released.

Quick answers

Hiring help, made clear

What should I include in my post?

Describe the result you need, the public area, when the work should happen, how many workers you need and the proposed pay. Add useful skills and instructions—but keep private details out of the public description.

Can applicants see my exact home address?

No. Your post shows an area, and an optional map pin is approximate. The exact address is private and shared with the worker you hire. Delivery stop details are also private to the hired worker.

Can I ask a worker for a quote?

Yes, for quote-based repair or service work. A worker can inspect and send an itemised quote. You choose whether to accept it; a price change needs your acceptance.

How do I know who I’m hiring?

Review the applicant’s profile and ID-verification status. Every hire needs verified ID; you can set additional approved document or vehicle requirements for the job.

Can I pay by M‑Pesa in the app?

Household M‑Pesa checkout is live: pay by STK Push from your account, and the money stays held until you approve the work. Confirm the final scope and payment arrangement with the worker before hiring.

Hiring guide

How to hire reliable help near you

Whether you need a mama fua for Saturday laundry, a house cleaner before guests arrive, a babysitter for the evening or a fundi for a leaking tap, the clearer your post, the better the people who apply. Say what needs doing, the result you expect, roughly how long it takes and what you will pay.

Share only the general area in your post, such as the estate or neighbourhood. Your exact address goes to the person you hire, not to everyone who reads the job. Before you choose, look at each applicant’s profile, skills, ratings and ID-verification status.

Agree the scope, timing and pay before work starts. For repairs that need a look first, ask for a quote: the worker inspects and sends an itemised price for labour and materials, and nothing changes without your acceptance.
