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.
