Friendly Check-In
Friendly, non-emergency check-ins
When you can't be there, a MOM nearby can stop by for a friendly check-in: dropping something off, saying hello, and letting you know how the visit went in Task messages.

What friendly check-in help covers
A check-in Task is a friendly, planned visit when you can't be there yourself: saying hello to a parent who lives alone, dropping something off for a student, or a quick look at a home while you're away.
Check-ins are support, not supervision. They work best when the person being visited knows about it and agrees.
Who uses it
- Adult children living in another city from a parent
- Parents of college students
- Homeowners away for a few days
What people post
- A visit to an aging parent who lives alone
- Dropping off something a student forgot
- A quick look at a home while you're away
Good to know
- Not monitoring, supervision, medical care, or crisis response.
- Call 911 in an emergency or if someone may be in danger.
- Check-ins can't involve watching or caring for children. Childcare isn't offered on Momsity.
What to include in your Task

Helpful guides
Trust and payment
MOMs are independent, so read profiles and reviews from real completed Tasks before you choose. Your exact address stays private until you authorize a MOM, messages stay on the Task, and payment is held until you confirm the work is done. Momsity doesn't guarantee that every Task will get an offer, or that a MOM is available in every area. How trust works

How it works
Step 1
Post a Task
Choose the service, the ZIP where help is needed, and when it should happen, then describe the details. The exact address stays private until a MOM is authorized for that Task.
Step 2
Nearby MOMs offer
MOMs whose services and area fit can be notified and can offer on your Task. Not every area has a MOM available yet, so timing and coverage depend on who is nearby.
Step 3
Choose and pay on Momsity
Compare who offered, choose your MOM, and pay through Momsity checkout. You see the total before you pay.
Step 4
Coordinate in Task messages
Your MOM accepts and gets the details they need. Messages stay on the Task so the history and support stay together.
Step 5
Confirm when it is done
Your MOM marks the Task complete and you confirm. Payment is held until the Task is confirmed. If you don't confirm or open a review, Momsity may confirm it automatically 72 hours after completion when no other issue is open.
Common questions
- How does payment work?
- You see the total before you pay at Momsity checkout. Payment is held until the Task is confirmed — by you, or automatically by Momsity 72 hours after the MOM marks it complete if you don't open a review and no other issue is open.
