FOR SYDNEY CAREGIVERS
Earn $60 an hour caring for two local families.
Protected from day one
Vivaly requires current public liability insurance (like Nannysure, ~$486/year) and adds Vivaly Protection group cover launching September 2026, so you're fully covered. That's your protection, not your burden.
Founding Pods bring two families together in one family's home. Each family pays $30/hr, so you earn $60/hr. On private bookings, you set your own rate.
