How it works

A few questions about your afternoon. Then one small step.

Nura starts with the part of your week that keeps breaking, and the families already around it. Then one small step at a time, so the next time it breaks you're not the only one it lands on.

Make your backup plan

01

It starts with your afternoon, not a profile.

A few questions, one at a time. No profile to fill in, nothing about your kid's name, and nothing gets sent to anybody while you answer.

What's the hardest part of your afternoon?

How do you handle it right now?

Where do you see the same families?

Real questions from the flow. Most are a tap.

02

You point to the family. Nura never picks one.

There's no list of who's free and no matching. The one question about people asks whether you could name a family, and not yet is a real answer that keeps you going.

Is there one family you could name?

Yes, I know exactly who

A few faces, but no names

Not really, not yet

Not someone you'd ask for help, and not a close friend. Just another parent you see at the bus stop.

03

One step, and you say how big it is.

Nura hands you one thing to try, not the whole arrangement. Too big, and you say so and get a smaller one. The first one usually runs the other way: something small you do for them, on a day you're already there.

One step at a time

Too big? Ask for a smaller one

Words to copy, if you want them

Nothing sends from Nura

You go first, so the day you need them isn't a favor.

Every step is something small you can do for one family, on a day you're already there. Nura sends none of it, and nobody has agreed to anything until they say so themselves.

Your afternoon

Pickup at 2:45

Work goes until 5
Tuesdays and Thursdays
Nothing steady right now

One family

Susan

You've said hi at pickup
You haven't texted

Your step

Offer to grab hers on a day you're there anyway.

Where it's going

Your turn, not a favor

The next time the 2:45 breaks, you're not starting from a blank text. You already went first.

Ready when you need it.
