How it works - households and businesses

Connect
with multitalented young people

We connect young people to households and businesses. Book young people from a range of experiences, including digital & social media, music, academic tutoring, babysitting and more.

Work with brilliant young people

1. Create a listing or find someone

Describe your needs in a listing and either our platform will connect you with a suitable match or you can browse the platform for yourself.

2. Organise your session

Book a time and date to suit your availability. Many young people offer the convenience of online one-to-one sessions.

3. Complete your session

When the session is booked, you can manage communications through the platform. MyPocketSkill deals with payment and reviews. We'll support you to ensure all goes smoothly.

Why

hire a young person?

MyPocketSkill young people are engaged, motivated and personable, sure to provide a great experience. We will often provide personalised recommendations of our young people that are most suited to your needs.

Jachym was polite, punctual and professional throughout the shoot. He arrived early, remained focused the entire time and used great composition and skill. I'm not especially photogenic, so the quality of the shoots were testament to Jachym's talent. I'd definitely book Jachym again.

Gwilym is a gem I’m fortunate our paths have crossed. Looking forward to work more with Gwilym in the future. Gwil ticks all the boxes. A dream to partner with. My time is valuable and I never mind freeing up time to engage with Gwil. Gwil is hardworking, thoughtful, and communicates every step of the way. Way to go Gwil! Keep up the great work.

Working with Muheez to build my website was a great experience from start to finish. I cannot commend this young man to you enough. He is extremely knowledgeable and kept me updated and explained what he was doing every step of the way, producing a very professional eCommerce website. I will definitely be using him again in the future for any IT, website or design-related issues. I would highly recommend this talented young man to anyone.

Ella is amazing. She is so sweet with my boys. She has succeeded in improving their levels of English. My boys love doing sessions with her. Now they are starting to speak, understand and say simple sentences. She uses a lot of different supports that are very fun for kids. I recommend her. Our results are very good.

My 7 year old daughter had her first session with Lydia and it was great! Lydia worked at a good pace, was encouraging and clear and my daughter loved learning with her. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks Lydia!
