We want the same thing

You and the family want the same things.

What you want

  • A direct relationship with the family
  • To be paid what you’re worth
  • To be treated like a professional
  • A way to earn more without more shifts
  • A day off without losing the client

What the family wants

  • A direct relationship with you
  • To pay you more — not the agency
  • Someone who actually knows their parent
  • The same caregiver for the long haul
  • Backup when life happens

The system was built with a lot in the middle. We built Alula differently.

Direct, by design

Here's what changes.

Five concrete things. Each one, a thing you already want.

01

You get paid more. Period.

In the traditional agency model, the family pays $35–45 an hour. You see $15–18. The rest covers overhead — rent, staff, insurance, franchise fees.

Through Alula, the family pays you $20–25 an hour, directly. You keep it all. That’s $10,000+ more per year for the same hours — starting day one.

02

Your client is yours.

Same family. Month after month. Year after year. No “schedule change” notice. Not reassigned the day another case needs coverage. Not losing the person you’ve been showing up for every morning because their billing situation changed.

You keep the relationship you build.

03

You earn on top of your hourly.

Know a family who needs care? Refer them. You earn 30% of Alula’s $279/month service fee for 12 months — about $1,000 per family. No cap.

Refer five a year. That’s $5,000 on top of your hourly. Your hourly pays your bills. Your referrals pay for the vacation.

04

You can take a day off.

Sick. Traveling. A family emergency. As a true solo independent, that’s usually the day you lose the client to someone with backup.

In the network, coverage steps in. Take the weekend. Go to the wedding. Take care of yourself. Your client stays your client.

05

You’re a professional, not a slot.

Your photo. Your bio. Your credentials. On a profile families actually read before they choose. Families pick you — not a rotation.

Every piece of this treats you like the expert you are.

Not everyone makes it in

The bar is high — by design.

Selective by design. We review every application personally and say no to most. The CarePros who make it in are serious about their craft — and they get the tools, training, and community to match.

A letter from the four of us

Between us: a geriatrician, an ER physician and medical educator, an eight-year family caregiver, and an operator who spent two decades building systems that move things at scale. Four angles on the same problem — great CarePros doing work that rivals clinical care, navigating a system that wasn't built with them in mind.

We built Alula for them. If you're the kind of CarePro who learns names, remembers stories, and keeps showing up — we'd love to meet you.
