Care work, on your terms

Set your own hours and travel radius, get matched with families who genuinely need what you offer, and keep more of what you earn — no cold-calling, no agency cut of your day rate.

A team of professional carers reviewing schedules together
Why carers choose Empatha

Work that fits your life, not the other way around

You set your schedule

Choose your availability, travel radius, and the care types you offer — accept or decline every request.

Matched, not cold-called

We bring qualifying opportunities to you, based on your skills and location — not the other way round.

Fair, transparent pay

Set your own hourly and live-in rates. Clients pay through the platform, and payouts land after every completed visit.

A network that respects you

Chat directly with families before accepting, agree the finer details up front, and build long-term relationships.

Getting verified

A thorough process, because families are trusting you with someone they love

Every carer completes the same checklist before appearing in any match. It takes a little time up front — and it's exactly why families trust the carers they find here.
