How a child views task details
In KiddyCash, a task (also called a chore) is a job your parent or guardian has set up for you to complete. When you finish a task, you earn money directly into your KiddyCash wallet — your personal digital pocket money account. Before you start any chore, it helps to read the full task details so you know exactly what to do and how much you will earn.
This article shows you how to open a task and read its instructions from your own KiddyCash account.
Before you begin
- You need your own KiddyCash account (sometimes called a kiddy account). If you do not have one yet, ask a parent to set one up for you.
- Your parent must have already created a task for you. If no tasks appear, ask them to follow the steps in how to create a task for a child.
- You need the KiddyCash app installed on a phone or tablet, or access to the web app in a browser.
How to open and read a task
- Log in to your KiddyCash account using your PIN or password.
- Tap the Tasks tab at the bottom of the screen. This shows all chores your parent has assigned to you.
- Find the task you want to check. Tasks appear as cards with a title and a reward amount shown in your local currency — for example, KES 50 for washing dishes, or KES 200 for a weekend cleaning job in Nairobi.
- Tap the task card to open the full details page.
- Read everything on the screen before you start working. See the table below for what each field means.
You can also go straight to your task using this link (ask a parent to share the correct link with you): https://kiddy.cash/kiddy/account/:kiddy_account_id/task/:task_id
Replace :kiddy_account_id with your account ID and :task_id with the task ID — your parent can find both of these in their own KiddyCash dashboard.
What you will see on the task details page
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Task name | The short title of the chore, e.g. “Clean the kitchen” |
| Instructions | Step-by-step notes your parent wrote explaining what to do |
| Reward amount | How much money you earn when the task is approved, e.g. KES 100 |
| Due date | The deadline — the day and time the task must be done by |
| Status | Whether the task is Pending, In Review, or Completed |
| Assigned by | The name of the parent or guardian who created the chore |
| Badge | A reward badge you may earn for completing the task on time |
Understanding task status
- Pending — the task is waiting for you to start or finish it.
- In Review — you have marked it done and your parent is checking your work.
- Completed — your parent approved the work and the money has been added to your wallet.
Parents can also review task progress from their side. They follow the steps in how to view a child task to check what you submitted.
