The first chapter · UBC

UBC, meet Neola.

Parents get someone trusted to have their back. UBC students and affiliates get a flexible way to earn by being that person.

In Neola, parents are Goers and the people they choose are Neos. Parents choose. Neos decide. Both sides are verified, both see who they are meeting, and no subscription stands between a parent and a real conversation.

Verified on both sides Talk before you book No subscription Standing, visit by visit

Maya opened 3–5 PM.

A verified family nearby asks for her directly. She sees the child, visit, exact earnings and hard stop before answering.

For parents

Life doesn’t always fit the schedule.

The meeting moves. The class runs over. School closes. The dinner was booked three weeks ago. Rest becomes another thing you keep postponing.

You need more than someone who happens to be free. You need the right Neo to have your back.

Nene is our word for your child. The whole reason for all of this.

Finding backup should not become another job

Less searching. Less guessing. More to go on.

Neola removes the friction that makes parents spend more time managing strangers than getting the support they actually need.

01

Talk before you pay.

Browse, message and call through Neola before you book. No membership sits between you and the person.

02

You make the first move.

Choose who enters the conversation. No inbox full of applications. One person. One clear ask.

03

No ghost profiles.

A Neo appears only after identity checks, background screening, references and profile review are complete.

04

Meet the whole person.

See real availability, rate, experience, credentials and Standing before you decide who feels right.

One open afternoon

Two schedules. One yes. Both keep moving.

Class ends.

Maya has a gap before her next commitment. She opens 3:30–5:30. Nothing more.

A Goer nearby needs backup.

They see Maya is genuinely available, read her references and make one direct ask.

Maya sees everything that matters.

The verified family, the Nene, the location, the visit, her exact earnings and the hard stop.

Yes.

A parent keeps the meeting. Maya earns in hours she already had. Nobody rearranges their whole life.

That gap between classes counts. So does the space after a shift, before rehearsal, or between everything else.

Neola is not another job board. You do not apply into a pile and hope somebody answers. Open only the hours you want families to see. Set your rate. Families ask you directly. You decide.

Your hours. Your rate.

Open the time that fits. Take the visits that fit. Leave the rest.

Know before you say yes.

See the family, Nene, location, timing, earnings and hard stop first.

Paid without chasing.

Payment is secured before you arrive and released after the visit closes.

Show up. Stand out.

Each completed visit adds to a Standing that follows you.

Built to let you breathe

Trust should never feel like a blind leap.

Neola carries the context before the visit, the connection while it is live, and the history after it closes.

BEFORE

Know who’s showing up.

See the full verified profile, named references, credentials where provided and real availability. Message first. Call through Neola. Let the Care Brief carry the details ahead.

DURING

Let go without losing touch.

Choose the check-in rhythm that lets you breathe. The private Nene Log keeps updates and notes together while the visit is live.

AFTER

More than “all good.”

Receive a written visit summary. Payment closes inside Neola. The visit becomes part of the Standing both sides carry forward.

Stars are for strangers.

Standing is a record of how someone actually shows up, visit by visit. Start at UBC. Never start over.
