A provider-first, consent-forward flow. Read profiles carefully and follow the creator’s instructions.
Use filters for Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens. Check neighborhood, languages, availability notes, and rate badges. Profiles are consistent so you can compare quickly.
Look for etiquette, screening preferences, and any specific requests (timing, verification, deposit). Respect boundaries stated on the page.
Follow the provider’s preferred contact method. Introduce yourself clearly: name, date/time window, length, general location, and any accessibility needs. Keep messages concise and polite.
Many providers require light screening or a deposit. Provide what’s requested and wait for confirmation. Consent is specific and can change—communicate promptly if your plans shift.
Arrive on time and follow instructions about location and discretion. Phones off or silent. If you’re running late, send an update rather than surprising someone at the door.
Respect privacy. Do not share photos or details without consent. If feedback is welcome, keep it constructive. If you plan to rebook, check availability windows before messaging.
