Why Tandera costs less

Traditional agencies pay for offices, schedulers and layers of management, and families cover that cost in the hourly rate. Tandera uses modern technology to handle matching, scheduling, messaging and payments in one app.

That lets us offer care at a fairer price for the families who need it, while companions still set their own rates.
