Frequently asked questions about Babyproofing

Babyproofing services in Albany start at $40 per hour.

Once you have the supplies, babyproofing your home takes only a couple of hours. However, this can depend on the size of your home and if you need to install baby gates places like at the top and bottom of staircases.

Babyproofing should be completed twice; once prior to baby's arrival and again once baby starts crawling.

Babyproofing is the process of making a home safe for babies by addressing potential hazards. The goal is to prevent any accidents or injuries from common household dangers.

  • Alex G.We had our tasker come in to assist with various tasks around our restaurant, and he was absolutely fantastic. He arrived on time, communicated clearly, and jumped right into the work with a positive attitude. They handled every task efficiently and with great attention to detail. The professionalism, reliability, and friendly demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable. We would definitely hire them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality assistance.!Baby proofing

  • Melissa G.Awesome workBaby proofing
  • melyssa b.I had a project where I needed someone to go look at a property that was in the middle of a rehab to get pictures/video and show me where we were at in project because I live remote and the contractor disappeared. He did not do rehab work but he also offered to help me finish the job if needed. He did more then I was expecting. He had a full camera set up! he was able to take quality photo and video of the house and then he provided me with a write up of where the home was at in the rehab process. He was able to load them onto a google drive and share it with me in a short time! I was not expecting this quality of service!! I have had to hire other people to do this type of job last minute on Taskrabbit, at least 10 people, and none of them were able to do this task without some sort of issue. None of them offered to write me a write up- he did this at his own suggestion which was insightful compared to what I've dealt with in the past.. in the past I was lucky to get usable pictures and they definitely didn’t know how to make a google drive share! Needless to say I was shocked and soo very grateful for this pleasant surprise, the insight/will to provide a write up and just his all around thoroughness to complete a task with integrity. He also has a drone and can do Ariels for you! If I need a property scout because you need to buy a house remote, someone to take photos to sell house, a rehab in progress or anything related to this ie photo video AND who also knows construction. Delano is the man!! I will 150% hire him again and just is willingness to do the job well and in completeness with integrity is a rare breed these days. On this alone I would hire him to be my handyman and to complete small rehab projects. He is also great at communication. If I had rentals in the area Delano would be my go to handyman for them. To say I’m satisfied is an understatement. He helped me more then he will ever know and he did it all unsupervised! I just don’t run into workers in the construction field like that all the time. Thank You Delano for everything, it was a pleasure to do business with you. I hope to hire you again in the future <3Baby proofing

  • Rachel T.Allan was super helpful in getting our job done with some minor electrical work, while also showing us what he was doing so we can do further repairs on our own. He was very neat in the space and friendly about all of our beginner questions, thank you!!Baby proofing
