the problem

As Busy Bees scaled, both parents and babysitters experienced confusing onboarding and unclear trust signals. This created friction early in the experience, leading to drop-off at critical moments and putting activation and conversion at risk.

the solution

the solution

I simplified both parent and babysitter onboarding by consolidating entry points, reducing total steps, and improving information hierarchy. Trust signals were introduced earlier in the flow, while spacing, instructional copy, and progress indicators clarified direction. These changes reduced friction without requiring a full product rebuild.
