Babysitting jobs that fit around your week
Evenings, weekends, after school. Babysitting fits around study, another job or family life, and regular families make it steady income.

Kalvri for caregivers, at a glance
- Cost to you
- Nothing. Caregivers never pay: not to apply, not to match, not to talk to a family.
- Commission
- None. Kalvri takes no cut of your rate.
- Who pays you
- The family, directly, at the rate you agree together.
- Your hours
- You set them. Families who need other hours, or work you won't do, aren't brought to you.
- To join
- A free application, about 15 minutes. A person reads every one, and you hear back either way.
- Who can apply
- 18 or over, able to work in the US, paid caregiving experience, and an iPhone.
Kinds of babysitting work
- Regular after-school hours, the same weekdays every week.
- Evenings and date nights.
- Weekends and school holidays.
- Last-minute cover when a parent's shift changes.
Stand out to families
- Say which ages you are comfortable with.
- Mention first aid and CPR training.
- Have a family who can speak for you.
- Be clear about your hours and rate from the start.
Agree these before the first evening
- Your rate, and whether it changes for late nights or more children.
- How you get home after a late finish.
- House rules: screens, snacks, bedtime, visitors.
- Allergies, medication, and who to call in an emergency.
How Kalvri works for caregivers
Caregivers never pay Kalvri anything. Until Kalvri opens on the App Store you apply once, and a person reads every application. In the app you tell Kalvri your hours, your rate, your skills and what you will not do, and families whose needs you meet see you, ranked by fit.
- No fee to apply, no commission, and every conversation is free on your side. The family pays you directly, and every dollar is yours.
- Families who need work you have said you won't do, or more than the hours or distance you set, are not put in front of you.
- What you say you will not do is respected. Kalvri never pushes you toward work you have ruled out.
- You talk with a family before anything is agreed, and you can review the families you work for.
Apply once, free
One application covers every kind of work you do. About fifteen minutes, a person reads it, and you hear back either way.
