Why Join the Care Circle?
Keep 100% of Your Earnings
Unlike traditional agencies that take a cut of your hourly rate every month, we only charge the family a once-off finder's fee. You negotiate and receive your full salary directly from the client.
Work Close to Home
We use smart mapping to match you with families in your specific area, reducing your travel time and costs.
