Private duty nursing jobs, directly with families
Some families need a nurse at home: injections, wound care, a complex medication regimen, or the weeks after a hospital stay. As a private duty nurse you agree the rate and the schedule with the family yourself.

- Care for a child with medical complexity.
Before you agree terms
- Who the doctor is, and how orders reach you.

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.
