Simple by design
How Chrella works
Two sides of the same care relationship — we built for both.
For Families
Find your Nanny in three steps
Browse Nannies nearby
Filter by distance, certifications, availability, and household needs. Every profile shows exactly what has been checked, and when.
Watch their intro video
See how someone speaks about childcare before the first message — video reveals what a résumé never could.
Connect and hire directly
Message, request a résumé, and hire — all on Chrella. No placement fees.
For Nannies
Build the career you deserve
Build a professional profile
Add experience, certifications, an intro video, and real endorsements from Families you’ve worked with.
Get discovered locally
Show up first for Families near you. Your verification badge and endorsements do the talking.

Ready to meet them?
Nannies near you
Browsing is free. Every profile shows availability, the areas they work, their own written introduction, and whichever verification badges they have chosen to display.
Chrella does not interview members or verify certifications. Badges show what independent providers confirmed — not our judgement of a person.
Built differently
Why Chrella
Not a job board. Not a review site. A professional network purpose-built for domestic care.
Video Introductions
See how someone speaks about childcare before you ever message them. Video tells you what a résumé never could.
Endorsements — Not Star Ratings
No anonymous reviews. No 1–5 star guessing. Only written endorsements from Families who say they worked with the Nanny — in their words, not a score.
✓ No star ratings — everMulti-Layer Verification
TrustID identity verification — a government photo ID matched to a live selfie — displayed on every profile, so you know the person you are talking to is the person on the document. ChrellaClear and ChrellaClear+ background checks and the SafeScreen account standard are coming next.
No Ghost Listings
Every job post is confirmed active every 10 days, and closes on its own after 30. No more applying to a position that was filled three weeks ago.
Proximity-First Search
Results sorted by real distance from you. Filter by 5, 10, or 20 miles. The next suburb over shows up when you search the city.
Privacy You Control
Choose who sees your profile, activity, and contact details. Private mode is free on every plan; incognito browsing is part of Pro.
Platform safety
Trust you can see — on every profile
Chrella's multi-layer verification system puts safety information front and center on every profile.

Common questions
FAQ
What does Chrella verify — and what does it not?
Chrella does not interview Nannies or Families, and does not verify certifications, licences or references. Every badge on a profile records what an independent provider confirmed and what the member chose to show — it is never a recommendation from us. Please run your own interviews, check references yourself, and confirm any certification that matters to you. Meeting in person before a first day is always worth it.
Is Chrella really free?
Yes, on both sides and permanently. Basic is free forever for Families and for Nannies — no trial, no card, no expiry. A Family can browse every Nanny profile, see availability and background-check badges, reply to any Nanny who writes first, write an endorsement for a Nanny they have worked with, and record a Meet the Family video. A Nanny can browse Families, send 3 job applications a month, reply to any Family who writes first, and record their intro video. Pro — on either side — is what adds starting the conversation, job posting, interviews, the shared care schedule, watching intro videos, and reading endorsements in full.
Can I message someone without paying?
Yes — replying is free, on both sides, permanently. If a Family writes to a Nanny, that Nanny can answer without a subscription, and the same the other way round. Every other marketplace in this category charges to send the first message and to read the ones you receive, which is how people end up paying a subscription to talk into an empty room. Pro is what lets you START a conversation with someone who has not written to you first; it is never what lets you answer.
What does it cost to cancel?
Nothing. There is no contract, no cancellation fee and no minimum term. Cancel a monthly plan and it stops at the end of the month you have paid for; cancel an annual plan and you keep it for the rest of the year you bought. Your profile, your endorsements and your messages stay exactly where they are — cancelling Pro drops you to Basic, which is free forever, not out of Chrella.
How are endorsements different from star ratings?
Endorsements are written in full by a named Chrella member — a Family about a Nanny, or a Nanny about a Family — and signed. For three days the author can edit or withdraw it; after that it is permanent, so a reference you earned cannot disappear because somebody changed their mind later. An author can always take their name off, and the words stay. Not anonymous stars from strangers.
What’s the difference between ChrellaClear and ChrellaClear+?
ChrellaClear covers a national criminal database search, the sex offender registry, and an SSN trace. ChrellaClear+ adds a county criminal search across the last seven years of addresses, and searches under former and alternate names.
How do I know job listings are current?
Every listing runs for 30 days. We ask the Family to confirm it is still open on day 10, again on day 20, and send warnings on days 27 and 29 — the last one a day before it goes. A listing nobody confirms closes itself on day 30, so no ghost posts and no wasted applications. Confirming takes one click and starts the 30 days over, up to 90 days from the day it was posted. After that the Family reposts it as a fresh listing.
Are the Nanny and Family communities really separate?
Completely. Nannies have their own private feed, Families have theirs. Neither can see the other’s posts. A safe space for both sides to speak openly.
Is there a long-term contract for Pro?
No. Monthly plans are month-to-month and annual plans run one year. Cancel any time.
How it works
Why Chrella works this way
Endorsements, not ratings
A Family writes an endorsement in their own words and it carries their name. There are no anonymous reviews and no 1–5 star scores to average away the detail.
Identity, checked by a provider
TrustID matches a government photo ID to a live selfie and the outcome is shown on the profile — so the person you are talking to is the person on the document.
See and hear them first
Nannies record an intro video and Families can record one too, so a first message is not the first impression.
Chrella does not interview members or verify certifications. Badges show what independent providers confirmed — not our judgement of a person.
