FAQ:
*********.
*/ Can CareDriver really make $50 per hour ($500 a week) of active platform driving?
Yes. Many drivers, including myself achieve that earnings goal. Once you get fully approved and certified as a CareDriver, feel free to call me and, as a sign of my gratitude for the referral I can teach you what to do to realize your full CareDriver earnings potential.
*/ Do I need any caretaker or childcare professional certificates?
No. No formal certification or written proof are required. For example, personal experience in raising your kids, caring for younger siblings, or elderly parents is usually sufficient.
You will be asked about your experience in dealing with children during said virtual interview. Your verbal description of your caretaking experience is usually good enough. No “official certificates” or other official proof of the caretaking experience are required.
However, you should feel comfortable dealing with children, some of whom could be only 5 years old, and requiring a booster seat. Please note that most kids are elementary, middle and high school students, and before you pick a ride you will know student’s age.
* / Is this a full-time job?
No. It is a part-time gig. You can work up to five school days a week, approximately two to three hours daily. You choose your rides. You drive when, and where you want. You are “the boss”. :)
*/ Can CareDriver drive all day?
No, CareDriver cannot drive “all day” because kids are AT SCHOOL most of the day.
* / Do you provide a car?
No. You will use your personal automobile.
It hast to be a four-door vehicle, NOT OLDER than 13 years.
*/ Can my car registration or insurance be under another person’s name (e.g., “my parents”, or a rental company)?
No. Your personal car registration and insurance card (proof) must show ONLY CareDriver candidate’s legal name name. However, a married couple can use the same car interchangeably if they are CareDrivers and cars leased under YOUR NAME are acceptable. Also, if a car is leased or financed, the financial company name can be shown on the registration in ADDITION to your name.
*/ Are salvage title and rebuilt cars acceptable.
NO. Your automobile must have a clean title.
•/ Will I work as an employee?
No. You will work as a “1099” independent contractor. You will pay your own federal and state taxes at the end of the year. You will drive when you want, and as much as you want. You will be “your own boss”. You can even take a break and stop driving for an extended time and, afterwards simply come back to drive kids again.
I have been performing this service since 1/2020 (we were closed during pandemic, and all school holidays and vacations). By now I did over 1330 successful rides. My average weekly take, doing about 2-3 hours of active driving daily, 5 school days per week is around $500, which translates to $50 per active driving hour. It is an easy $2000 gross income per month. You pick what rides you take, and when you take them up to 5 days in advance. You may filter the rides by distance to pickup from your residence, or by how much they pay, and you can also set the radius of the rides available between 5 to 25 miles from your location.
When you get approved, I can show you what rides to take, and when to maximize your income.
*/ Are there any tips or bonus rides.
There are no tips. However, almost daily there are special emergency rides due to a persistent shortage of CareDrivers. Some of them carry huge bonuses. You will be notified about them immediately via text message. See the attached bonus rides examples. Moreover, rides cancelled by the student, parent or school within one hour from the pickup time pay 100% of the original fare.
*/ Do I get paid per student, or per ride or how?
You get paid per ride. However, rides with more students usually pay more.
*/ Do I need to have a clean DMV record?
Yes. Your DMV record will be pulled by the platform directly from the DMV (free of charge to you), and reviewed during the application process. Certain major moving and other violations may disqualify you. Also, for example if you had a recent accident, you may have to submit an accident report, etc. Major speeding tickets and other serious violations may also disqualify you so, it is best to have a clean DMV record. However, the only way to find out if you qualify is to submit your CareDriver application (it is free of charge).
*/ Do I need to show at least three years of driving experience?
YES.
*/ Can I have driver license from another state? NO. You must show a valid CA driver license.
The only exemption is for the military personnel.
* / Can I be 22 years old , or I am “almost 23”?
No. You MUST be 23 when you apply.
* Will I work as a “private chauffeur”?
No. You will drive on the CareDriver platform as an independent, “1099” contractor.
*/ Can I get paid cash?
NO. We will be paid electronically by direct deposit to your bank account, once a week.
*/ Will you deduct federal and state taxes a from my weekly CareDriver pay?
No. At the end of the year, you will receive a 1099-NEC tax form, and you will be responsible for paying your personal federal and state taxes.
*/ Do I have to get fingerprinted?
Yes. All CareDriver candidates undergo a rigorous international and domestic criminal background check, and also an international child molester check. Please understand that you will be driving unaccompanied minors, alone in your personal car, with some kids as young as 5. Your fingerprinting and background check will be done FREE of charge at a facility approved by the CareDriver platform company. You must wait for their instruction WHERE TO GO TO GET FINGERPRINTED. Please do not rush to just about “any fingerprinting place”, and pay from your pocket. If you do it, you may not be reimbursed.
*/ Do you offer any training?
Yes. You will receive extensive online video training before you drive.
*/ Can I come to your office to apply?
No. Since the pandemic, all applications and training are performed online. Even your car mechanical condition inspection can be done virtually using live video setup.
*/ How long does CareDriver approval take?
In California, approximately 45 to 50 days.
Your patience is appreciated. The approval is influenced by a rigorous background check, and an extensive training including sexual harassment
class.
*/ Do I have to take a TB (tuberculosis) test?
Yes. Most schools and school districts require it for all persons who come in contact with students.
Most medical insurance companies will cover it for free if you tell them you need it for work. Also, CVS and other, similar companies offer this test at a reasonable cost.
*/ Do I have to get my car inspected?
Yes. You can opt for a video inspection using your mobile phone, or go your local certified mechanic (e.g., Pep Boys, Jiffy Lube, etc.).
This one, and a TB test, will be your final inspection steps.
*/ How do I book my rides?
You will do it through a cellphone app, similar to the one used by Uber and Lyft independent contractor drivers. However, it is much more advanced and sophisticated than the one by Uber.
You will know EVERYTHING about the ride BEFORE you take it. You can even put it in a “shopping basket” with other rides, and you will have 5 minutes to make your final decision.
*/ How far in advance can I book rides?
You will always see the available rides up to five work days in advance.
*/ Do I have to take specific rides, during specific hours?
No. You work only when you want. You are “your own boss”.
*/ Can I stop driving for a week or longer?
Yes. You can take an extensive break, and come back whenever you wish.
*/ How many minors do I have to drive?
It is up to you. The CareDriver app will show you the number of passengers. You pick the rides according to your car passenger seatbelt capacity, and your personal preference.
*/ Are all riders picked up and dropped off at the same place?
Not always. Some riders require pickups and drop-offs at two, or more places. As always, you only pick the rides that you want.
*/ What happens during school vacations and holidays?
The number of rides drops considerably in the public school districts. However, many private, charter, and magnet schools remain open.
*/ What happens if a rider cancels my booked ride within 60 minutes before it starts?
You get paid 100% of your CareDriver fee.
*/ Do I have to speak English?
Yes. However, Southern California is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic place, so if you speak other languages (on top of a passable English, of course) it can actually help you to serve better as a CareDriver. Many families and kids speak only Spanish, therefore your fluency in that language can be helpful.
*/ Do I have to be a US Citizen or, a legal resident?
Yes.
•/ Are there any rides available in my area?
Yes. Almost all areas of So CAL, a lot of North CAL, and many other states are covered by CareDrivers. The platform is experiencing an explosive growth, and many new drivers are needed.
*/ Do I need to have child booster seats in my car?
You do not have to, but in such case the CareDriver app will not show you rides with young children requiring booster seats. FYI: Walmart sells them for $19.99. I own two of them, but until now I used only one during a ride.
*/ Can another person (my child, my wife/ husband, etc.) ride in my car while a have a CareDriver booked passenger (a minor) in my car?
ABSOLUTELY NO. You can only have CareDriver booked riders in your car when you transport them
*/ Can I use a cargo van with a single passenger seat or a sedan with two doors only?
NO, you cannot. Your car has be a 4-door vehicle that seats 4 to 7 passengers.
