About

Compassion, trusted at scale.

We started CarerNest to make finding a carer feel less like paperwork — and more like asking a friend.

Last updated 26 July 2026

Our story

CarerNest was founded in 2025 by a team of care-sector veterans and technologists who shared the same frustration: finding compassionate, vetted home care in the UK was an opaque, paperwork-heavy, slow process — even when families knew exactly what they needed.

We started CarerNest to make that process human again.

What we do

CarerNest is a marketplace that connects families with vetted, compassionate carers. Every carer on CarerNest is background-checked, qualified, and reviewed by families like yours.

We provide:

  • Search and matching, including AI-assisted matchmaking.
  • Background checks (DBS, identity verification, right-to-work).
  • Secure payments with escrow. Funds are held until the shift is confirmed complete.
  • Digital care notes and medication administration records.
  • Continuous review and feedback.

Who's behind it

CarerNest is a UK company backed by a small group of family offices, sector-experienced founders, and angel investors. We are registered in England and Wales. Our registered office is in London.

Our values

  • Compassion first. Care work is intimate and important; we treat it that way.
  • Trust through transparency. Background checks, reviews, and policy details are public.
  • Family-led. We build for the family and the carer at the same time — never one at the cost of the other.
