Why Caregivers Choose AidMates?

✔ Earn more than traditional agencies

Set your own hourly rate and keep more of what you earn.

✔ Total flexibility

Work when you want — one-time visits, recurring weekly care, or full days.

✔ Keep 100% control of your schedule

Accept only the jobs you want. No minimum hours, no required shifts.

✔ Work with the populations you love

Seniors, adults, children, neurodivergent individuals, or companionship — it’s your choice.

✔ Build long-term relationships

Families can “favorite” you and invite you back for recurring visits.

✔ Quick, secure payments

Get paid automatically after each completed visit.

✔ No agency rules, no micromanagement

You are an independent caregiver, not an employee.

✔ Earn More While Supporting Families Who Need Extra Help

AidMates connects independent caregivers with families seeking flexible, non-medical support. Many families already use IHSS, agencies, or private caregivers — and turn to AidMates for backup coverage, extra hours, special needs support, or occasional help.
