I need care
For caregivers

Care work near you. Free to join, free to get hired.

Children, seniors, special needs, tutoring, housekeeping, pets — the work you already do, close to where you already live. You set your rate, and Nivo never takes a cut of it.

Nivo Care is in a private beta on iOS. Tell us where you are and what you do, and we'll send you an invite.

Who pays for what

Worth being blunt about, because most places in this market are not.

The family pays, not you

Families pay a subscription to message caregivers. That is the only thing Nivo charges for, and it is charged to them.

You set your rate

Your hourly rate is yours to choose and yours to change. Nothing is deducted from what a family agrees to pay you.

Being checked is your advantage

A verified ID and a background check sit on your profile as badges. They are the first thing a family looks for, and both are free to you.

The work you can take

Six kinds of care work. Take the ones you do, in the area you already live in.

Child care

Babysitting, after school, the school run.

Senior care

Company, errands, help around the day.

Special needs

Experience that is asked about, not assumed.

Tutoring

Homework, a subject that has gone quiet, exams.

Housekeeping

The house kept, so the evening is yours.

Pet care

Walks, sitting, the days you are away.

How it works

Set up once, then it is just applying to what comes up near you.

  1. Build your profile

    The care you do, where you can work, when you're available, and what you charge.

  2. Get verified, once

    A government ID check, and a background check you request and consent to. Both free, both shown on your profile as badges a family can see.

  3. Apply to work near you

    Jobs posted nearby come to you, and families searching your area can find you directly.

We're early, and we'd rather say so. Nivo Care is new, and in some areas there are not many jobs posted yet. The app shows you exactly what is actually there — we don't pad the list, and we don't invent postings to make it look busier than it is.

Before you ask

The questions worth answering before you spend twenty minutes on a profile.

Is it really free?

Yes, all the way through: joining, your profile, the ID check, the background check, applying, and getting hired. Families pay a subscription to message you. That is the only money Nivo takes, and it does not come from you.

How do I get paid?

Directly by the family, at the rate you agreed. The money does not pass through Nivo, so nothing is deducted and nobody takes a cut of your hours.

Is there work near me?

Possibly not yet. We are new and there are areas with few jobs posted. The app shows you exactly what is there — we do not pad the list to look busier.

Do I have to do the background check?

You request it and you consent to it; it does not happen behind your back. It is free, and the badge it puts on your profile is the first thing families look at.

Who decides my rate?

You do, and you can change it whenever you like. A family sees it before they write to you, so nobody is negotiating from a surprise.

Which phone do I need?

A private beta on iOS today. Ask for an invite and we will tell you when your platform is ready if it is not yet.

Free to join, and free for as long as you use it. No catch further down.

A private beta on iOS — we read every one of these.
