If you’ve worked Care.com or one of the gig-economy aide apps you know the math: families can ghost you, payment comes in cash or late, and the platform takes a cut nobody can quite explain. You’re the one risking your back and your time, and you’re the one losing the most when something goes wrong. CaraLoom is built differently. Every family is verified before they post — identity, payment method, care setting. You see the shift, the address, the rate, and the care plan before you accept. Funds are secured at booking and settle to your bank in 1–2 days after each shift.
Recurring shifts with the same family are the default, not a unicorn.
No agency markup. No insurance billing overhead unless you opt-in. No chasing checks.
Funds settle to your bank 1–2 business days after the note is signed. Pro / Pro+ unlock instant payouts (1.5 % fee).
$18–$32 in most US markets; $25–$45 in coastal-urban metros. Specialty premiums for dementia-trained, hospice, or pediatric care.
Illustrative range
12% Starter / 8% Pro / 5% Pro+ — vs. ~20%+ on Care.com, plus their separate background-check fee on the family side you don’t see.
Families typically book a CNA for 3–5 shifts/week over 8–12 weeks — 100+ hours of predictable work from a single family.
