Elderly Care, NYC
Elderly care in New York City.
Verified, caring people, their rate, plus Bobby’s flat $1 fee (never a percentage).
The people who raised you deserve help you can trust in the home. Bobby is being built for exactly that: caregivers who are identity-verified and background-checked, and a choice that fits your family. A few hours of company and a hand around the house. Regular daily visits. Full live-in support. You see the caregiver’s rate upfront, and Bobby adds a flat $1, never a commission. The caregiver keeps their whole rate.
A flat $1 fee, whichever side you are on.
Here is how a three-hour afternoon visit works on Bobby, for the customer and for the caregiver. Drag the price to see it at any job size. Same flat fee, no percentage cut, ever.
If you book it (customer)
The caregiver keeps 100% of their price. Bobby's fee is a flat $1, never a percentage. Standard card processing is billed at cost, and your full total is shown before you confirm.
If you provide it (caregiver)
A typical 25% app would take $23 of this job. On Bobby, all $90 stays yours.
What you keep as a caregiver, side by side
You keep all $90. No percentage, ever. The flat $1 fee is the customer's, added on top.
They take $23 out of this one job. You keep just three quarters of your own work.
Example only, not a quote. Caregivers set their own price; the flat $1 fee is what stays fixed.
Everything, one flat fee.

Why New Yorkers are choosing Bobby.
Arranging care for an aging parent is one of the hardest calls a family ever makes. The agencies that run this city charge steep markups, while the caregiver doing the actual work sees only a fraction of it. Bobby's plan respects both sides. Every caregiver is identity-verified and background-checked before their first job. You see their rate before you book. Bobby’s fee is one flat dollar, never a percentage. Your family gets someone you can trust in the home, and the caregiver keeps their full rate. This should be about dignity, not markups.

Built for New York. Launching by the book.
Bobby is preparing for launch and is finalizing all required business registrations, insurance, and provider vetting. Every provider will be identity-verified and background-checked before their first job.
Our platform is being built with compliance at its core. Services requiring regulatory authorization will not be offered or made available until all applicable licenses, permits, and registrations have been issued.
In the meantime, we invite you to join our waitlist to be among the first to experience Bobby when we officially launch.
