Roosevelt Island neighbors
Finding help here takes about three taps.
Neighbors mark themselves available for a few hours at a time. You see who is free right now, read their profile, and message them.
See who’s available now- 1
Open Help and see who's free
Available now lists every neighbor whose availability is live at this moment — childcare, pets, home, tutoring, errands. The chips filter it; All is where it starts.

Open a profile
Rates, usual hours, what they do specifically, their building, and ratings left by other neighbors who have actually worked with them.

Message them
Agree the timing, the job and the pay directly. If nobody suits, post what you need instead — the neighbors who offer that kind of help get told.
Availability expires on its own
Someone marks themselves free for 1, 3, 8 or 24 hours, and the listing goes when that runs out. An empty list means nobody is free right now, not that nobody does it.
The Island doesn't screen anyone
These are neighbors, not employees. Ratings are community feedback — check references and meet first if you want to.
Can help rather than need it?
Listing yourself takes a minute and you choose when you’re on.
