How does it work?
In our app, clients choose the services they want, the itinerary and location of the service. The app presents a list of caregivers that match the criteria and sends the reservation to the preferred caregiver. The caregiver receives the request with the service information and decides whether to accept it or not. Reservations are made on a weekly basis. A caregiver can have a single client or multiple clients according to their availability and demand. All client reservations are received through our app. Only approved caregivers appear to clients as an option.
