Describe Your Project
Tell us what you need, when you need it, and whether you'd like to add a Shadow a Pro learning session.
Meet Your Handywoman
Before your first booking, you'll connect on a brief, private video call in the app. No strangers — just a real introduction.
She Arrives, Insured
Every handywoman carries her own general liability insurance, and we check it again before each booking. Your handywoman brings her skills, her tools, and the warmth of someone you've already met.
Job Done, Review & Rebook
Pay securely through the platform, leave a review, and save your favorite handywoman for next time. No Meet & Greet needed on repeat bookings.
Not Just Another Home Services Platform
Every feature exists because we believe hiring someone to work in your home should feel safe, personal, and empowering — not transactional.
Insurance, Verified Every Time
Every handywoman carries her own general liability policy. We verify it before her first job and check it again before every booking.
Meet Before She Arrives
The Safety Meet & Greet is mandatory on every first booking. A brief private video call so you know who’s coming and she knows where she’s going. No other platform does this.
Learn While She Works
Shadow a Pro turns any service call into a real lesson. Watch, ask questions, and pick up real skills. Your shelves still get installed — but now you know how it’s done.
She Keeps 100% of Her Rate
We don’t take a cut from your handywoman. She keeps every dollar she earns, plus tips.
All Women, By Design
Every handywoman on our platform is a skilled woman. For clients who want a woman in their home, there’s no guessing, no filtering, no hoping. It’s all we do.
One Transparent Fee
No service fee plus trust fee plus processing fee. One line item: the Safety, Trust & Insurance Fee. Covers the Meet & Greet, vetting (background checks and insurance verification), support, and our mission. That’s it.
Don't Just Get It Fixed.
Learn How It's Done.
Add a Shadow a Pro session to any booking for $30/hour. Your handywoman completes the job and walks you through every step. Next time it happens, you might handle it yourself.

Need Something Bigger?
When your project goes beyond what a handywoman handles, our Trusted Partners Directory connects you with women-owned licensed contractors, architects, and designers — all personally vetted for the same values.
Women-Owned. Licensed. Values-Verified.
Every Trusted Partner completes a personal interview evaluating quality, communication, safety, environmental practices, and fair treatment of workers. If they don't share our values, they're not in the directory.
You Have the Skills.
We Handle the Hard Parts.
No leads to chase. Set your rate, choose your jobs, and keep 100% of what you earn. You carry your own general liability insurance (Thimble can help if you need a policy), and client matching and payments are handled through the platform — you bring your craft and run your business.
