Coastal North County · By introduction
We set up parental controls for families who take their kids’ safety seriously.
On the phones, the apps, and the WiFi at home. Then we keep them working as your kids grow.
Sound familiar?
Have you ever thought setting up screen time controls should be easier than it is? Are you confident the filters and app permissions you set up are actually working? Would it help to see, from anywhere, that your kids’ internet use is what you want it to be?
Most of the parents we talk to don’t want their kids on their phones all the time. They also don’t have the time to dig into every setting on every device and keep up with it as things change. That’s where we come in.
The way we see it
You wouldn’t put your child in a car without a seatbelt.
You wouldn’t drop your twelve-year-old off alone in Amsterdam at midnight and tell them to have fun.
A phone with an open internet connection is both of those things. The only difference is that it happens in your living room.
This isn’t about taking the devices away. It’s about putting the seatbelt on: filters that work, limits that get enforced, and a way to see what’s going on.
What we set up
The WiFi at home. The kids’ devices get their own network, with filtering that works and a bedtime schedule. The TVs, cameras, and smart speakers are kept separate.
The phones and devices. Each phone, tablet, console, and TV is set up for the kid who uses it, with controls that still apply when they leave the house.
A way to see it. One dashboard shows you what’s connected, what’s blocked, and when. If something needs to change, you text us and we take care of it.
Who this is for
We know we’re not for everyone. For some families, the controls built into the phone or the router are enough, and that’s fine. We’re not the cheapest option, and we don’t take on more families than one person can look after properly. What we offer is someone who sets it all up right, across every device in the house, and stays reachable when something changes. If that’s what you’re looking for, we’d like to meet you.
