How it works

Simple for families. Fair for caregivers.

From first message to final payment, here is what happens, and who is responsible for what.

A caregiver and a young child reading a book together, both laughing.

Checked in

Billed for time actually worked

For families

Six steps from search to settled.

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Tell us who needs care and what a good day looks like. Care needs are private and shared only with a caregiver you book.

  2. 2

    Browse checked caregivers

    Every caregiver in search has passed the checks for the care they offer. Compare rates, experience and certifications.

  3. 3

    Message and meet

    Ask questions in the app, and request a video interview. It happens inside GoSit and is recorded for safety.

  4. 4

    Book

    Send a request. Nothing is charged until the caregiver accepts, and you see the full cost first.

  5. 5

    Care happens, and is recorded

    Your caregiver checks in when they arrive and out when they leave, so there is a clear record of the time.

  6. 6

    Pay, and say how it went

    You are charged for the time actually worked, and you can leave a review for other families.

For caregivers

Your side of the booking.

GoSit is a marketplace, not an employer. You decide what you charge, when you work and which requests to accept.

  1. 1

    Create your profile

    Your experience, services, rates and the area you work in.

  2. 2

    Sign the agreement

    The Caregiver Service Agreement sets out how the marketplace works, including that you are independent.

  3. 3

    Complete your checks

    Identity verification, plus a vulnerable-sector check if you will care for people.

  4. 4

    Add certifications

    Optional, but families look for First Aid, CPR and specialist training.

  5. 5

    Accept the work you want

    Requests come to you. Accept or decline each one, and check in and out from your phone.

  6. 6

    Get paid

    Connect your payout account once. You are paid for the time you worked, with every fee itemised.

Meeting first

Video interviews, kept on the platform.

Families can ask a caregiver for a video interview, and the caregiver accepts or declines. Every interview is recorded, and you agree to that before you join. A call that cannot be recorded does not go ahead.

  • Recordings are deleted after 90 days unless our safety team needs to keep one.

  • Recordings are visible only to trust and safety staff, and every view is logged.

  • Please do not arrange calls, links or meetings on other services. Doing so takes you outside GoSit's protections.

Ready when you are.

Whether you need care or want to give it, getting started takes a few minutes.
