“After two weeks with our Athlete Manny, my two boys were actually asking to go to the park instead of reaching for the iPad. The energy and structure he brings to pick-up has changed our whole routine.”
“We needed someone reliable who could handle the school run and keep up with our daughter's non-stop movement. The shortlist arrived within a day and the fit was immediate.”
“Our son was nervous about new clubs and social situations. The team matched us with someone who built his confidence through football and games — now he looks forward to Tuesdays.”
“As a single parent juggling work and two kids, I needed more than a sitter. The after-school routine they designed means homework, dinner and prep are handled before I'm home.”
Case study
The Hargreaves Family · Richmond
The problem
Two high-energy boys, ages 7 and 9, with no structure after school and constant battles over screen time.
The match
James, a former county-level swimmer and football coach, was placed as their after-school mannie.
The result
Within the first month, both boys were doing daily outdoor activity, screen time dropped by more than half on weekdays, and bedtime battles eased because the kids were finally tired in the good way.

“James has been a game-changer for our boys — they ask when he's coming back on his days off.”
