A recorded shift in 46 of the last 48 weeks.

Her handoff report has ended 187 of her 214 recorded shifts.

In her words

I started caring for children in São Paulo in 2019 — first my sister’s twins, then three families I still send birthday messages to. I moved to Philadelphia in 2024. I speak Portuguese and English, and the babies get both. My style: routines you can set a clock by, a real report at the end of every day, and no screens before two years old unless it’s a grandmother on a video call. Experience before this illustrative record is self-reported — the record below the line, Carelio wrote with me.

Recorded as care happens with Carelio. Hours are as logged by Maria; her tenure reflects the shifts she recorded. This sample profile is illustrative — Maria S. is a composite, not a Carelio user.

The reference problem

Your last family will vouch for you — by phone, if the timezone works.

Your years of experience live in your memory and a two-page PDF.

You’ve done this work for years. Where’s the proof?

For many career nannies the references that matter are in another country, in another language, a hard call to reach at the exact moment a new family is deciding. A record you carry yourself doesn’t depend on a phone call landing.

What Carelio gives you

Your everyday work becomes a record you can share.

The care you already give — the meals, the naps, the medication, the report at the end of the day — adds up to something a résumé can’t: hours, tenure, and evidenced experience, kept as care happens and ready to hand to the next family that asks. You don’t fill out a profile. The record is simply what your work leaves behind.

Your toolkit — free forever

Everything you need to do the work, and nothing that gets in the way.

Fast, one-handed childcare loggingFeeds, naps, meds, and moments — captured in seconds while the day is happening.
Hours per family, never blendedEvery family’s time kept separate and clear — so your hours are always right.
Expenses and settle-upLog what you spent, share it clearly, and keep the money side simple for everyone.
The end-of-shift reportA handoff so good the parents keep it — the report that ends the day and speaks for your work.
Your record and share linkYour hours, tenure, and evidenced care in one place — yours to share, one person at a time.
No ads. No data selling. Ever.Your work is yours. Carelio is a tool for you, not a place that sells you.

What’s on your record — and what never is

A record a family can trust, because of what it refuses to carry.

What your record shows

  • Your hours, and how long you’ve been recording
  • The kinds of care you give, with how often you’ve given them
  • The age bands you’ve cared for
  • Your own words — your background, your approach, in your voice

What it never shows

  • No photos of the childrenThose belong to the family — not yours to carry, and a family reads that as the first sign you won’t carry pictures of theirs.
  • No family names, no addresses, no schedules
  • No ratings, stars, or scores — nothing on your record is an opinion
  • Nothing that tracks or monitors you — you are the author of this record, not its subject

Why it counts

A Carelio record is written as the work happens — not reconstructed from memory the night before an interview. That’s the difference a family feels the moment they read it: this isn’t a list of claims, it’s a record of days that actually happened.

Your hours are yours, exactly as you logged them; your history reflects the shifts you recorded. We’re careful about what your record says and just as careful about what it doesn’t — precision is the whole point.

Questions nannies ask

The short answers.

Is Carelio really free for nannies?

Yes. Caregivers never pay — your record, your hours, and your share link are free for caregivers, forever. Families pay for the family app.

Who can see my profile?

Nobody, unless you send them the link. Your record is yours to share, one person at a time. Nothing is public until you hand someone the link.

What if I leave a family?

The record is yours and it travels with you. Your hours, tenure, and evidenced experience stay with you when an engagement ends — they’re your professional capital, not the family’s.

Do parents rate me?

No. There are no stars, scores, or reviews. Nothing on your record is an opinion — it’s a record of the care you gave.
