Total Flexibility
Work when you want. Pick up a single on-demand shift or schedule your whole month. You are in control of your calendar. No minimum hours required.
Safe Environments
We verify every customer's identity. If a party runs late, use the app to request a Shift Extension and get paid for the extra time. We have your back.
A platform built for professionals.
We handle the booking, the billing, and the routing. You just show up, guard the water, and get paid automatically.
Pinged Instantly
When a family near you needs a guard, your phone pings. Review the details, distance, and payout, then tap to accept.

Built-in GPS routing gets you exactly to the pool or beach location. In-app messaging lets you coordinate without sharing your number.

The moment the shift ends, your earnings are processed securely via Stripe. Track your history and tips in real-time.
