Hire a caregiver in Pasadena without going through an agency
Karevos connects families across Pasadena with independent, credentialed caregivers. The two of you agree what the visit involves between yourselves; Karevos is the venue where you found each other and nothing more.

Families arranging care in Pasadena are usually solving a geography problem as much as a care problem. Getting from Golden Acres to Red Bluff at eight in the morning is a different proposition than at two in the afternoon, and a caregiver knows that better than any scheduling system does. On Karevos she sees the neighbourhood and the approximate distance from where she actually lives, decides for herself whether it works, and bids if it does.
Neighbourhoods across Pasadena
Karevos does not carve Pasadena into service territories. A caregiver decides for herself how far she is willing to travel from her own home address, so coverage follows where caregivers actually live rather than a map somebody drew.
- Golden Acres: post a visit here and caregivers across Pasadena see it at neighbourhood level, with an approximate distance from their own home.
- Red Bluff: overnight and evening company are both bookable, with no minimum number of hours attached.
- South Houston: respite for a family carer is bookable by the visit, not by the month.
- Just outside Pasadena: caregivers living in the surrounding Houston area see your visit too, because coverage follows where people live rather than a city boundary.
- Repeat visits across Pasadena: set a visit to recur and one bid covers the whole series, so the same caregiver keeps coming back.
- Short notice in Pasadena: a visit posted this morning can collect bids this afternoon. Nothing has to go through a coordinator first.
- Cost across Pasadena: there is no zone pricing and no travel surcharge. A caregiver decides what she charges and whether the trip is worth it to her.
- Care circles in Pasadena: inviting a sibling or a care manager to see what is happening is free, and there is no plan that makes it cost money later.
- Meeting first in Pasadena: you can ask up to three caregivers for a fifteen-minute conversation before you accept anybody's bid.
- Notes after a Pasadena visit: your caregiver can leave a short message in her own words. It is a note between the two of you, not a medical record.
- Getting started in Pasadena: posting takes about two minutes and you can take the posting down again at any point before you book.
- Who turns up in Pasadena: the caregiver who bid is the caregiver who comes. There is no pool and no substitution behind the scenes.
- Rates around Pasadena: every caregiver names her own, so what you are comparing is people rather than price tiers.
- Tips in Pasadena: entirely optional, and 100 percent of anything you leave goes to your caregiver.
- Cancelling in Pasadena: talk to your caregiver first. Most changes are a five-minute conversation rather than a policy question.
- Records in Pasadena: Karevos keeps no medical or care file on anybody. Notes are informal messages between you and your caregiver.
How it works for caregivers in Pasadena
Your rate, your schedule, your credentials.
One profile, every family
Build it once and it works for every Pasadena family you ever bid on. Documents still under review are never shown to anybody.
Say what you charge
The bid field opens empty on purpose. Karevos will not put a number in it, average one for Pasadena, or show you what anyone else charges.
Bid only where it suits you
You set how far you will travel from your own address, and only Pasadena visits inside that distance are shown to you.
Nothing deducted
Whatever you bid is whatever you are paid. Karevos is funded by a flat fee the Pasadena family pays, and it never touches your rate.
How it works for families in Pasadena
Four steps, and nothing costs anything until a visit is booked.
Start with one visit
A single Pasadena booking is a perfectly normal thing to do here. There is no plan to join and nothing to cancel afterwards.
See who is actually free
Caregivers post their own availability, so a Pasadena visit is only ever offered to people who said they can do it.
Ask your questions first
A short meeting before you book, video or phone, inside the app. What you ask is your business, and Karevos neither scripts nor records it.
Know the number before you agree
Her rate, the flat $14.99 visit fee, and processing at cost are all visible before you confirm a Pasadena booking. Nothing appears on the receipt that was not on the screen.
How the Pasadena marketplace actually works
Karevos is a venue, not an agency. These are the rules of the venue as they apply to every Pasadena booking.
One flat fee, and it is the family that pays it
Karevos charges $14.99 per completed Pasadena visit. It is flat at any visit length, it is never a percentage, and it never comes out of a caregiver rate.
Checks are done before anybody bids
Every caregiver working in Pasadena completes a background check before her first bid. Her profile carries the date, provided by her.
Itemized receipts, every time
Her rate, add-ons, the visit fee, processing at cost, and any tip you left, each on its own line. A single Pasadena agency total with no breakdown is what this replaces.
Neighbourhood only, until you decide
Nobody browsing Pasadena visits sees your address. It is released once, to the person you actually booked, for as long as the visit lasts.
Live Arrival is a family choice
An optional add-on you can attach to a Pasadena visit for updates on the way. The caregiver accepts it when she bids, and it stops the moment she arrives.
Free to post, free to have a circle
Posting a visit in Pasadena costs nothing. So does inviting a sibling or a care manager to see what is happening, and it always will.

Caregivers in Pasadena
You set your rate, you keep all of it, and your background check is yours to own and take with you anywhere in Houston. Karevos never sets your price, your schedule, or your tasks.
Caregivers in Pasadena are independent. There is no exclusivity, no required training, and no Karevos-set rate.
Why Pasadena families use Karevos
If you are weighing options in Pasadena right now, the useful comparison is not Karevos against another app, it is Karevos against the way this normally goes: a four-hour minimum on a two-hour need, a different person each week, and an invoice that explains nothing. Here you choose the caregiver, she sets her price, and the receipt shows every line.
Pasadena: the questions that come up most
Who decides the schedule and the tasks in Pasadena?
You and the caregiver do. Karevos never sets a schedule, assigns tasks, or directs how care is given anywhere in Houston. You describe what you are looking for when you post the visit; she decides whether to bid and what to charge.
Can I keep booking the same caregiver?
Yes, and most families do. You can set a visit to repeat weekly, and one bid from a caregiver covers the whole series, so a Pasadena family is not re-hiring somebody every week.
Is Karevos available in Pasadena yet?
Not yet. We are opening city by city and Pasadena is on the list. Leave your email on this page and we will write once, on the day it opens here. We are not going to guess a date we do not have.
I am a caregiver in Pasadena. What does it cost me?
Nothing comes out of your rate. There is no commission and no mandatory fee of any kind for a Pasadena caregiver; the platform is funded by a flat fee the family pays. You buy your own background check, you own it, and you set your own price on every bid.
How much does a caregiver cost in Pasadena?
Each caregiver sets her own hourly rate, so the price you see is hers and not ours. When you post a visit in Pasadena you say what you are offering, caregivers reply with their own rate and a short message, and you choose. Karevos adds one flat $14.99 visit fee per completed visit and nothing else, never a percentage of her rate.
Does Karevos take a percentage of what the caregiver earns?
No. Caregivers keep 100 percent of their rate. The only Karevos charge is a flat $14.99 visit fee per completed visit, paid by the family, and it is the same $14.99 whether a Pasadena visit runs two hours or twelve.
