Home health aide jobs, directly with families
Home health aides already know the work families need most. Kalvri lets you do it directly for a family, at your rate, without an agency in the middle.

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.
The work families describe
- Personal care, bathing and dressing.
- Help with walkers, wheelchairs and transfers.
- Meals, medication reminders and light housekeeping.
- Company and routine for someone living with memory loss.
Agency work and private work
- With an agency, the agency sets the rate and keeps part of what the family pays.
- Privately, you and the family agree the rate, and every dollar of it is yours.
- With an agency, visits are often short and back to back. Privately, you can choose fewer families and longer shifts.
- Privately, you also agree your own terms on time off and cancellations, so put them in writing.
Say what you will not do
If you do not lift without a hoist, do not work with pets, or do not give medication, say so. Kalvri treats a stated limit as final — families who need that are not put ahead of families who do not.
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.
