How can I discover job opportunities?

On Nannuka, as a professional caregiver you can find work in two main ways — depending on how you want to connect with families and apply for positions.

1) Receive a Job Request from a Family

• Once you sign up and complete your professional profile, families can see your profile in search results and may send you a direct job request.
• When a family sends a request, you’ll receive a notification by SMS and email letting you know you have a new job request.
• You need to respond within the given timeframe (often around 48 hours) by accepting or declining the request.
• If you accept, the family’s contact details are unlocked so you can talk directly and discuss work details.
• If you decline, you can optionally state a reason for declining.

Tip: Having a verified profile helps you get more requests and appear more prominently in search results.

2) Express Interest in Job Ads

• Families also post job ads daily for care work for example child care, elderly care, or household support and you can apply to these ads.
• To express interest in job ads, you must be a Premium member. Upgrading allows you to apply to as many ads as you want that match your profile.
• Before applying, make sure your availability calendar and chosen locations match the requirements of the ad, if they don’t, you won’t be able to apply.
• Once you’ve expressed interest, the family will review all interested professionals and decide whom they want to contact.
• If the family contacts you, be professional, punctual, and polite. It’s also a good idea to have a meeting in person before accepting a job to discuss details like the work environment and schedule.

Pro Tip: Some ads have a “Premium” label; for these you may be able to contact the family directly once interest is submitted.
