Caregivers
Caregogi will encourage you to apply for the background check on the site which it will promote you to clients in need of senior care equally whether or not you have a criminal background check. Clients will be alerted if you do not have a background check and will be encouraged to conduct before engaging.
When compared to a typical caregiving agency, Caregogi offers tremendous benefits to caregivers. The founders of Caregogi recognize that caregivers deserve to be paid fairly for the compassionate work they do. With Caregogi you are able to set your own rates, so you can make more than you would be able to through an agency. You also get to choose how far you travel, and which clients you accept. The control is completely in your hands.
What you make is up to you! We want you to be in complete control of your career. On average, caregivers on our site charge between $12 – $18/HR. Because the payment is going directly to you, you should expect to make more than you would at a traditional agency. When you sign up, you can utilize our recommended caregiver rate chart that will help you determine what the standard rate is within your state. You can always charge more or less than the recommendation based on your skill level and experience.

Signing up to be a caregiver requires you only to complete a brief sign up questionnaire so that our system can match your profile to those of potential clients. The sign up process takes approximately 5 minutes and will ask you questions regarding your experience and availability. All caregiver profiles go through manual review from our staff.
Our profile review process has two steps:
- General profile review
- Photo review
In the first two steps, we are simply looking for professionalism in order to increase the chances of your profile receiving a job offer. We ensure that proper grammar and appropriate language is being used in your bio before approving it. In the photo review, we look to make sure that you are the only one in the photo, that the picture is taken from the shoulders up, and that the photo fits our sizing standards.
The profile and photo review process is completed in batches 3 times a day. The length of the review process can vary, but know that we do our very best to get your profile approved as quickly as possible. Typically users will have their profile reviewed within 24 hours of applying to be listed on Caregogi.

One of the best things you can do is keep your schedule availability open and accurate. Additionally, keeping your coverage area broad will increase the amount of clients who see you, as you will not be displayed to people outside your travel radius. Additionally, making a good first impression is important, so we recommend having a profile photo and biography that emphasize your professionalism.
