No, we are not an agency! We are a platform that helps expecting families match with postpartum care professionals.Â
Â
Care Professionals are independent contractors. You choose your clients, choose your own availability, decide which engagements to accept, and keep full professional judgment over how you provide care. You are free to work with other families, agencies, or platforms at the same time, and you are not penalized for it.
Once a family completes their Care Plan and their Care Request goes live, you can apply to it directly. The family reviews the profiles of the Care Professionals who applied, and if they like yours, they request a Meet & Greet video call. If they select you and sign a Care Contract, the client and you will work together to set a schedule on our platform.
Once everything is uploaded correctly, you’ll receive an email within 48 hours to schedule your Mock Meet & Greet, at whatever time works for you. If you pass it, you move to a background check, which takes about a day, and we send your contract at the same time. You’re officially approved once your contract is signed and the background check clears.
It varies a lot. Some Care Professionals pick up a handful of sessions a year; others are fully booked. What drives the difference is demand in your area, the strength of your profile, how you come across in Meet & Greets, and how many Care Requests you apply to.
The things most in your control are the profile and the Meet & Greet, and Boram has resources for both: a Profile Audit if you’re applying but not landing Meet & Greets, and a Mock Meet & Greet if you’re getting them but not converting to contracts. See Reporting and Support in the Provider FAQ linked below for more details.
