Markets/en/Portal:Babysitting/Main

💡 In simple words: A safe way for families to find trusted babysitters and pay fairly, with rules everyone agrees on.

Babysitting Portal — First Pilot

The Babysitting portal is WikiDeal's first operational pilot. It serves as the proof-of-concept for our legal and economic framework, testing the 7-step user journey, the dispute resolution system, and the non-extractive Commission model.

Instead of extracting 20–30% like traditional platforms, this portal operates at-cost (1-2%). All rules and contracts are governed democratically by the users themselves — parents and babysitters.

The 7-Step Journey

How a parent (Alice) and a babysitter (Bob) connect, agree on terms, execute the service, and close the contract transparently.

1

Matching

Alice searches for a babysitter in her area. She reviews profiles, ratings, and hourly rates, completely free of algorithms that prioritize "sponsored" results.

B

Base Contract Generation

Alice requests Bob for Friday 6PM–10PM. WikiDeal automatically drafts a legally binding, AGPL v3-derived base contract defining the terms.

Agreement

Bob: Thanks Alice, the contract looks good. See you Friday at 6PM!

4

Execution

The job occurs. Bob arrives on time. No digital interaction is strictly required during this phase, but they can use the chat if needed.

Mutual Evaluation
