Sarah M.
Mother of Two Teens
"When I heard about the Ollie concept, I immediately saw the potential. My teenagers need ways to earn money, but I worry about them finding work through random posts. A verified platform where they can build reputation while learning responsibility is exactly what we need."
Marcus T.
Father of Three
"I'm constantly trying to teach my kids the value of hard work, but opportunities are limited. The Ollie concept addresses both sides - my 15-year-old could earn money, and I could hire responsible teens. The verification and rating system gives me peace of mind."
Linda R.
Retired Teacher
"When I learned about Ollie, I was thrilled. I can't afford traditional lawn services but struggle to keep up with my yard. Hiring a responsible neighborhood teen at a fair price while they build work experience feels like a win-win."
David C.
Working Professional
"When I heard about Ollie, my first thought was 'where was this when I was a teenager?' I travel for work and need help with dog walking and home maintenance. A trusted neighborhood marketplace with verified local teens is brilliant and solves a real problem."
Emma R.
High School Junior
"I got so excited when I heard about the Ollie concept. I've been babysitting for family friends, but it's hard to find new clients. Having a profile to showcase skills and build references would make me feel more professional and confident to grow my business."
Tyler J.
High School Sophomore
"Ollie sounds way better than asking neighbors randomly if they need help. I like yard work but never know how to let people know I'm available or what to charge. A platform that helps me set rates, get reviews, and find clients would feel more legit."

Parental Oversight & Control
Parental Oversight & Control
Parents aren't locked out - they're built in. View all gig activity, set approval requirements for new gigs, monitor communications, and manage payment settings. You decide how much independence your teen has while they learn responsibility and earn money.
Secure In-App Communication
All messages stay within the Ollie platform where parents can review them. No need to share personal phone numbers or contact information. Communication is transparent, monitored, and designed to keep everyone accountable.

Safe Payment Processing
Safe Payment Processing
Money never changes hands in person. All payments are processed securely through Ollie's platform. Once a teen completes the gig, neighbors review and approve the work in the app, then payment is processed and transferred to the teen's account - creating transparency and protection for everyone.
Community Guidelines & Support
Clear expectations help everyone succeed. Our community guidelines outline appropriate behavior, safety best practices, and what to do if something doesn't feel right. Our support team is always available to help resolve concerns quickly.
