Most applications are reviewed within a few business days. You'll get an email when a decision is made.
While you wait, finish your optional profile steps — care duties, age group preferences, and a bio. These go live as soon as you're approved, so getting them done now means families can find you faster.
A few things that can slow down an application:
Trouble verifying college enrollment history
Items returned on the background check
Trouble confirming identity based on background check information provided
Keep an eye on your email (including spam) in case we need anything from you.
