For caregivers
You are the talent here. You keep every dollar.
You've been charged to apply, taken a cut of, ghosted, and rated by people you couldn't rate back. Kalvri is the other thing. Caregivers never pay, and nothing is skimmed off your rate.

For caregivers
Built around your work, not around a fee
You keep every dollar of your rate, you review the families you work for, and you never pay Kalvri anything.
Caregivers never pay
No application fee, no commission, and every conversation is free on your side. What the family pays you, you keep, all of it.
In before launch
Until Kalvri opens on the App Store, caregivers join by application, and a person reads every one. If it's a yes, you get the App Store link the day it opens.
Matched to families who actually fit
Your hours, your rate, your skills, your distance. You stop getting asked for the job you already said you don't do.
You rate the family too
Respect runs both directions here. You review the families you work for, exactly as they review you.
How it works
How it works.
No résumé pile, no cold outreach, no forty tabs open at midnight. Tell Kalvri what the week actually needs, and see who could cover it, ranked, with the reasons.
Say what care actually looks like
Who needs care — your parent, your child or yourself. The days and hours, the help that actually matters — mobility, memory, medication, a newborn's nights, plain company — the languages spoken at home, how far is too far, and your budget.
See everyone who fits, ranked
Each morning, Care suggests the caregiver who fits you best, when there is one. People shows the rest, best fit first, each with the reason they were chosen.
Read the reasons
Every caregiver arrives in their own words, with the reasons they were chosen in plain language. What they told Kalvri is labelled as theirs, because Kalvri verifies none of it.
Talk, agree, pay directly
Invite someone to talk; when they say yes too, the conversation opens. Ask for a few hours, a day, weeks, or the same hours every week, and Kalvri keeps the agreement. You pay your caregiver directly. Kalvri never sits in the middle of that.

Honesty
The part most care apps leave out.
Everyone in this category implies they have checked the person standing in your kitchen. We haven't, so we won't imply it. Here is exactly what Kalvri is and isn't.
We don't vet anyone
Kalvri runs no background checks and vouches for no one, and every match in the app says so. If you want a check, ask in the conversation: the caregiver can order one on themselves from Checkr and share the link. Check references. Meet in person. Trust yourself.
We never touch the money
No escrow, no processing, no commission, no service fee. You and your caregiver agree a rate and settle it between you, exactly as you would with anyone else you hire.
We rank on the work, never the person
Skills, schedule, specialties, languages, distance, rate. Age, race, religion and the rest are not weighted lightly — they are absent from the matching code entirely.
Reviews, in full
Written only after booked care ends, both sides before either reads the other. Every review shows its stars, its words and its month, never a name, and a low one is never hidden.
We don't run background checks, and we don't let you forget it.
Good to know
Questions, answered plainly.
No fine-print voice here. If something matters, it belongs in normal-sized type.
What does Kalvri cost a caregiver?
Nothing. Caregivers never pay: not to apply, not to match, not to talk to a family. Kalvri never takes a cut of your rate, and nothing is withheld from what a family pays you.
How do I get paid?
The family pays you directly, in whatever way the two of you arrange. Kalvri never collects, holds or routes your wages, and never takes a percentage of them.
How do families find me?
Families whose needs you meet see you ranked by fit, with the reason you were chosen. You see the families who fit you the same way, and you choose whom to talk to. A family who needs work you’ve said you won’t do, or more than the hours or distance you set, isn’t put in front of you.
Why is there an application?
Kalvri isn’t on the App Store yet. Until it is, the application is how caregivers get in: it asks about real shifts and real judgment, we read every one, and we write back either way.
What happens after I apply?
You’ll hear from us. If it’s a yes, we hold your place and send you the App Store link the day Kalvri opens, along with what to do first. If it’s a no, we’ll say so plainly rather than leaving you waiting.
Will families see my licence?
They see what you tell them, presented as your own words — “They say they’re CPR certified” — not as a badge from us. Kalvri verifies nothing and marks no one as checked, so what families see is your claim, clearly yours.
What if a family asks for a background check?
You can order one on yourself from Checkr, on Checkr’s own site, and share the link in the conversation, or decline. Kalvri never sees the result.
Can I rate families too?
Yes. Reviews run both directions. You review the families you work for, exactly as they review you.
