Safety and support: Your safety matters to us. When a family inquiry comes through UPA-managed channels, we review the available contact information before helping move the conversation forward. UPA Care is a marketplace, so caregivers and families remain independent and should always use their own judgment before accepting an arrangement.
Who this is for
Nannies, babysitters, family assistants, newborn-care providers, after-school caregivers and bilingual childcare professionals.
Important: UPA Care is a marketplace and optional matching service. Publication or payment does not guarantee profile views, contacts, interviews, employment, income, availability, compatibility, performance or safety. Payment never creates UPA Verified status.
