We have designed HopSkipDrive with our own kids in mind, which is why we are obsessed with safety. Using the expert advice of parents, childcare workers, and child safety experts, we have developed safety protocols to give parents peace of mind. To learn more, please visit our safety page which includes our 15-point certification process for CareDrivers and our HopSkipDrive Terms of Use.
CareDrivers are thoroughly background checked
We require each CareDriver have at least five years of caregiving experience. Most CareDrivers are parents, teachers, or nannies. Before being certified to drive on the HopSkipDrive platform, CareDrivers pass a rigorous background check, including fingerprinting and driving record checks.
CareDriver vehicles must be inspected
We also require CareDriver vehicles pass an inspection performed by a certified mechanic, as well as meeting other standards. To read more about our safety standards, please click here.
HopSkipDrive monitors rides in real time
Our Safe Ride Support team monitors all rides in real time, from beginning to end.
You can monitor rides and contact the CareDriver
You can track rides in real time on the HopSkipDrive app and use the app to contact the CareDriver if needed. Learn more about monitoring rides here.
We believe strongly in these safety measures and the peace of mind they offer you as a parent.
