Caregiver — elderly care at home
A caregiver helps when an elderly person finds it hard to cook, bathe or go outside on their own, and the family cannot be there every day. Describe the schedule and duties in an order, and caregivers will send you responses. Or browse profiles yourself: services, prices and client reviews.
Caregivers
How much a caregiver costs
What affects the price
Care schedule
A few hours during the day, night shifts, round-the-clock care or live-in care are paid at different rates.
What the person can do alone
Helping with shopping for someone who walks on their own is easier than caring for a bedridden person, who has to be turned, washed and fed.
Need for constant supervision
If the person forgets to turn off the stove or might wander off and get lost, they cannot be left alone, and the price reflects that.
Household duties
Cooking, laundry, cleaning the apartment and shopping on top of personal care add work.
Living in and commuting
A live-in caregiver needs a separate room, meals and days off; for hourly care, the commute to your home matters.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a caregiver
- 1
Experience with your situation
Caring for a bedridden person or a person with dementia is not the same as helping someone who walks on their own. Ask what the caregiver has dealt with before.
- 2
Meeting the person in care
Hold the first meeting together with your elderly relative: what matters most is that they, not only you, feel at ease with the caregiver.
- 3
ID and references
Nexperity does not check documents or experience, so ask to see an ID and for contacts of families the caregiver has worked for.
- 4
Duties agreed in advance
Write down what the care includes and what it does not, and how you will keep track of grocery spending. Injections, IV drips and dressings are not part of non-medical care.
- 5
Trial days and cover
Start with paid trial days. Agree on days off, cover if the caregiver is ill, and how they will update you every day.
What to put in the order
The person's age and what they can do alone: walking or bedridden, whether they need constant supervision
Schedule: hourly, overnight or round the clock, live-in or not
Duties: hygiene, cooking, walks, cleaning, shopping
Housing: apartment or house, the floor and whether there is an elevator
Preferences for the caregiver: experience, language spoken
Payment and the date you need help to start
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
