Tandem: Care Jobs 4+

Welcome to Tandem, the platform that connects child care centers with job-ready staff, allowing child care workers to work on their own time for the first time ever.

The Tandem app allows child care workers to pick up shifts at child care centers based on their set schedule, pay and distance preferences, and experience. Shifts can be both short-term and long-term commitments, ranging from a one day substitute role to a full-time permanent role. Prior to picking up shifts, all child care workers must go through the process of getting or uploading their credentials so that they meet state-requirements to work in a child care center. This may include, but is not limited to, a background check, a valid form of identification, etc. Upon getting credentialed, all child care workers will be eligible to pick up and work shifts. Once shifts are completed, workers will receive payment. Their earnings will be sent to their TandemPay account, where they can transfer the money to their personal bank account or spend immediately on a Tandem physical or virtual debit card. Funds can also be added to the Apple Wallet, for easy use. Workers can continually pick up shifts and be re-booked at centers they’ve previously worked with.

PICK UP SHIFTS AND GET PAID DAILY

It is our mission to allow child care workers to pick up shifts at child care centers, on their own terms. We help workers browse a variety of child care center shifts in their area. The available shifts may align with the worker’s schedule, pay or distance preferences, and experience. Workers will be able to set up a TandemPay account, where they will receive their funds. Through their TandemPay account, workers can immediately spend, save, or transfer their funds.
