Hire a vetted carer directly — 30–50% cheaper than an agency.
DebbiesCare is an introductory care agency: we ID-check, reference-check and interview self-employed carers, then a nurse matches your family with a shortlist. You hire them directly — no hourly commission, no minimum hours, no agency markup.
vs £28–£35/hr at most UK care agencies
The middle ground between a care agency and going it alone.
Employs the carer. Charges £28–£35/hr. You get who they send. Hard to switch.
Vets self-employed carers. Nurse matches you. You hire directly at £14–£18/hr. Re-match free.
Cheapest, but you do all the vetting, contracts, cover, and risk. No fallback.
Four steps, no contracts to sign.
A 20-minute call with a UK-registered nurse. Care plan, hours, personality fit, paperwork.
We hand-pick 3–5 vetted carers near you. Read profiles, watch intro videos, message in-app.
You interview, agree hours and hourly rate together. No one in the middle taking a cut.
Contract templates, payment guides, cover-carer matches if your carer is ill. You stay in control.
Every carer is checked before you ever see them.
Carers on DebbiesCare are self-employed. You're the client. We're the introducer — never the employer of your carer.
Honest pricing — no per-hour cut.
