Find caregivers who understand your family

The system is broken on both sides

Families can't find qualified caregivers. Caregivers can't find fair-paying work. Agencies sit in the middle, taking up to 60% of every dollar while delivering inconsistent care.

Endless Waitlists

Government programs take 6-36 months. Families are left without support while they wait for services they've already been approved for.

💸

Agencies Take Too Much

Agencies charge families $40-50/hr and pay caregivers $14-18/hr. The middleman costs everyone. Good caregivers leave. Families overpay.

🎯

No Specialization

General platforms treat autism care the same as babysitting. Your family member deserves someone who understands their specific needs.

🔒

Trust Is Missing

Handing your most vulnerable family member to someone from the internet is terrifying. Background checks alone aren't enough. You need verified skills and real reviews.

A marketplace built for trust

We don't employ caregivers. We don't route you through an agency. We connect you directly — with the vetting, matching, and trust layers that make it safe.

01

Describe Your Needs

Tell us about your family member — their condition, care level, schedule, and what matters most to you.

02

See Matched Caregivers

We show you caregivers whose skills, certifications, and experience align with your specific needs. Not random profiles — real matches.

03

Book With Confidence

Every caregiver is background-checked, credential-verified, and reviewed by families with similar needs. Book and pay securely through the platform.

04

Build Your Care Team

Save your favorites, set recurring schedules, access emergency backups. Vykara grows with your family.

When both sides win, everything works

Vykara doesn't extract from either side — it creates value for both.

  • Caregivers matched to your loved one's specific condition
  • Transparent pricing — see rates before you book
  • Background checks, credential verification, real reviews

  • Government funding integration (DDD, CDPAP, respite)

For Caregivers

  • Keep 80-85% of every dollar (vs. 40-60% at agencies)
  • Set your own schedule, rates, and specialties
  • Get matched to families that fit your skills
  • Build your reputation with reviews and skill badges
  • Get paid within 48 hours — every time
  • Career growth through training and certifications
