If you have spent years finding childcare work through word of mouth, HomeNest gives you something you have never had: a verified profile that proves your experience, families who already know what you are worth, and a salary that arrives on the same date every month.
A platform that squeezes caregivers produces exactly the outcome families fear. So we do not.
We never take a percentage of your wages. Families pay our fee separately, and it is never deducted from what you are owed.
Straight to your MoMo. If a family is late, we chase it — you should not have to ask twice for money you have earned.
Child protection, first aid, CPR, nutrition and early play. We pay for your certification, and it stays yours if you leave.
Liability cover applies for every booking and placement arranged through HomeNest.
Your days, your hours, your areas, your type of care. We never send you an offer outside what you have told us.
Raise a problem with HomeNest directly and confidentially. Late pay, hours creeping up, being treated badly — we act on it.
Works on Android with a weak connection. Check in, log the day and send a report even when the data drops out — it syncs later.
Ten years of good work finally becomes something you can show a family, instead of something you have to promise.
Caregivers on HomeNest earn more than the Accra average for the same work, for a simple reason: families can see your verifications, your reviews and your experience, so they are not guessing whether you are worth it.
Completing your training and your full verification typically raises what families offer by 15–25%. It is the single most worthwhile thing you can do on the platform, and it costs you nothing but time.
Be careful of anyone who asks you for money
Based on what HomeNest families in Accra actually pay right now.
Typical monthly earnings
GH₵ 1,550 – GH₵ 2,350
You keep all of this. HomeNest does not take a percentage of your salary — families pay us separately.
This is an estimate from real placements, not a promise. What you actually earn depends on the family, the hours and where you are willing to work. We will always tell you the exact figure before you accept an offer.
Your phone number and a 6-digit code we text you. No email needed if you do not use one.
Your experience, the ages you have cared for, your languages, where you can work, and what you want to earn. You can record a voice note instead of typing.
Ghana Card, a passport photo, and your certificates if you have them. Photograph them with your phone — you do not need a scanner.
Two previous employers we can call, and two guarantors with Ghana Cards. We call them ourselves — you do not have to arrange anything.
We guide you through obtaining your clearance certificate, and you complete the free HomeNest training on your phone.
Once you are verified, families in the areas you chose start seeing your profile. You accept or decline every offer yourself.
Missing something? Apply anyway and tell us — we will help you get it. The only thing we cannot work around is being under 18.
