I would use the verb recoger. Could you please try using this in a sentence so we can give you tips/corrections?
I'll help get you started : D Mi madre/tía me...
Mi madre o mi tia me llevan de colegio. My mother or my auntie take me home from school.
The idiom to ''get picked up ''by really means in English: to receive a lift In this context the meaning is literal not metaphoric (as in being picked up by someone looking for a date!)
The verb which is used in Spanish to mean: to give a lift to someone is llevar = to carry, to take. An alternative translation could use the verb recoger = to collect. School is usually either translated as escuela for children at primary school or colegio for older children.
I think you could either say:
Mi madre o mi tía me llevan de escuela = My mother or my aunt pick me up /give me a lift from school
o
Mi madre o mi tía me recogen de escuela = My mother or my aunt pick me up/collect me from school
I hope this helps
Corrijan mi español, por favor
If by "pick up" you mean by a vehicle then this could be,
Mi madre o mi tia me coge en coche.
