Through an agency, a family can pay R14,000–R16,000 a month while the carer takes home as little as R7,000. Word of mouth is luck — a friend's carer isn't a hiring strategy. And Facebook groups leave you vetting strangers alone, with zero verification.
There's a better way to look. Carers on CarerDirect keep 100% of what they charge — no agency taking a cut — and you deal with them directly, for a fraction of the cost.

Every carer on CarerDirect has an ID or passport on file, checked by our team before their profile can go live — no exceptions, not even on a free Basic listing. From there, it's a spectrum, clearly marked on every profile: a Basic listing means an ID/passport check plus a confirmed phone and email; fully Background Checked means SAPS police clearance, an MIE criminal record check, and qualifications and work history verified. You decide how deep you need to go.
Browsing is always free. Unlock a carer's direct contact details for R49 once-off, or go unlimited with a R99/month subscription. Want extra peace of mind? Add a Verified Hire Pack (background check, reference verification, document templates) for R349.
List a Basic profile for free. Upgrade to Verified or Background Checked (R99–R149/month) for more visibility and a stronger trust badge on your profile.
