At KobiCare, the safety of children, pets, caregivers, and families is our top priority. We are committed to building a trusted and secure community for everyone using our platform. This Trust & Safety Policy outlines our standards, practices, and expectations for all users.
1. Identity Verification and Background Screening
- Caregivers must provide a valid government-issued ID for account activation.
- KobiCare may conduct background checks to screen for criminal records, including sex offender registries, where legally permissible.
- We do not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of background checks. Users are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence.
2. Vetting of Caregivers
- We review caregiver profiles for clarity, completeness, and adherence to our standards.
- Caregivers may be required to complete an interview, orientation, or verification steps.
- KobiCare reserves the right to approve or deny any caregiver application at our sole discretion.
3. Customer Responsibilities
- Customers must provide accurate information about children, pets, or household needs.
- Customers are expected to communicate clearly, provide emergency contacts, and disclose any safety concerns (e.g., medical or behavioral issues).
- Access to the home or care location must be safe, secure, and free from known hazards.
4. Emergency Protocols
- All caregivers are expected to know how to respond in emergencies (injury, fire, illness, etc.).
- Caregivers must contact emergency services (911) when appropriate and notify the customer and KobiCare.
- We recommend customers and caregivers exchange emergency contacts and medical instructions in advance.
5. Prohibited Conduct
