Everyone is so busy these days, including kids. With school, activities, events, camps, and more, their schedules are jam-packed with little wiggle room. The problem with this lies in how to get them to and from all these appointments without losing your mind. Logistics can get especially pretty sticky too, especially when each child has a separate itinerary or the parents work. Is there any way to get around the craziness? Fortunately, the San Francisco Bay Area has HopSkipDrive to arrange rides for kids.<\/p>\n
HopSkipDrive<\/a> (yes, it’s written as Hop Skip Drive without spaces) is like uber for kids or caregivers on wheels. Instead of having to hire a babysitter or mooch rides from friends and family, you can book rides for the next day (if reserved by 7:00pm the night before), the whole week, or for the entire school year. Families can request private rides or can save money by using the carpooling option. Busy parents can schedule rides for children ages 6 and up either online or through the mobile app. HopSkipDrive operates throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Orange County. Look for the discount code at the end of this post!<\/p>\n Of course, when it comes to anything having to do with children, safety is a huge issue. The three co-founders of HopSkipDrive get this completely as they are moms themselves. The drivers, known as CareDrivers, have to meet several requirements before working. All CareDrivers must:<\/p>\n HopSkipDrive meets each CareDriver in person during the vetting process.\u00a0The company does not offer parent-driver interviews but interested parents can join their children on a ride at no charge to check it out. HopSkipDrive enforces other safety measures like sending notifications at pickup and drop off. Parents also choose a personalized code word at pickup so kids get in the right car. The company monitors driver behavior and provides live customer service. If you have any other questions or concerns, refer to this extensive FAQ page<\/a> to put your worries at ease.<\/p>\n To celebrate all you multitasking parents, HopSkipDrive launched \u201cMulti-Mom.” This fun video touches on something many moms and dads wish for \u2014 the ability clone themselves to be in different places at the same time.
