How it works
Look, book and get hooked.
That's really all there is to it. A local pro comes to the house and teaches something you love, on your schedule.
Look
Browse local pros by town, activity or ZIP. Read their profiles and message anyone with questions.
Book
Pick a visit length and an open time. Book for yourself, or set it up for Mom or Dad from anywhere.
Get hooked
Your pro comes to the house and teaches. Afterward they send a short note about the visit.
Good to know
- What it costs
- Each pro sets an hourly rate between $50 and $150. At checkout you add a $2.50 booking fee per visit and a 10% service fee. You pay when you book.
- Cancelling
- Free up to 3 days before. From 3 days to 12 hours before, half the visit price. Under 12 hours, the full price.
- Every week, if you like
- Book one visit, 4 weeks at the same time, or every week until you cancel. Some games need 4 players and at least 4 visits; the profile says so.
- Travel fee
- A few pros travel farther. If your home is 20 or more miles from them, it's $25 more per visit, shown before you book.
Every pro is checked and vetted
- Online search
- A real conversation with our team
- Signed provider agreement
- Criminal background check
- National sex offender registry check
Every booked visit is insured (sample)
We don't evaluate clinical qualifications or supervise visits. Your address stays private until a visit is confirmed. To report a concern, email contact@homehappenings.com. If anyone is in danger, call 911.
Teach what you love
Set your own rate from $50 to $150, your hours and your towns. You keep 85% of every visit. We check every applicant before they're listed.
Questions
Can I book for a parent who lives somewhere else?
Yes. Create the account yourself, tell us who the visits are for and where they live, and you'll get the visit notes.
When am I charged?
When you book. For 4 weeks at the same time, all four visits are paid together at checkout.
Can I message the pro before booking?
Yes. Tap Message on any profile. Phone numbers and emails stay hidden in messages so everyone's privacy is protected.
Who is responsible if something goes wrong?
Pros are independent professionals and are responsible for their own work and conduct. We check and vet every pro before they're listed, handle payments, and step in to help sort out any problem. Tell us right away by email or phone and we'll follow up the same day.
What about insurance?
Every booked visit is covered by our general liability policy, on top of any coverage the pro carries. It covers injury or property damage caused during a booked visit, not medical treatment or anything outside the visit. (Sample wording for this demo.)
