Built for working educators

  • One professional childcare profile

    Experience, age groups, languages, credentials, resume, and references — presented the way childcare employers actually evaluate.

  • Choose when and where you work

    Opening or closing shifts, weekends, your travel radius, and the opportunity types you want — substitute through permanent.

  • See compensation before accepting

    Every listing shows the offered rate or salary range up front. Set your minimum acceptable compensation and filter out what doesn't work.

  • Build a verified professional reputation

    Verified reviews from completed assignments, repeat invitations, and a transparent reliability score that no one can buy.

  • Receive repeat invitations

    Centers add you to preferred lists and invite you back — dependable work finds you.

  • Control your boundaries

    Block a center when necessary, manage your availability calendar, and keep your private contact information protected until the right stage.

The EarlyEd Reliability Score — transparent by design.

You'll always know generally what influences your placement. No public score appears until you complete at least three assignments — until then you're “Building a Track Record” with placement in the New and Ready section, so established educators can't capture every opportunity.

  • Educators can never pay for better ranking
  • One disputed review can't severely determine placement
  • Reviews under active dispute are excluded when appropriate
  • Ranking audit logs are maintained

Score weights

  • Completed-assignment rate30%
  • On-time arrival rate25%
  • Verified center reviews20%
  • Repeat invitations15%
  • Profile and credential completeness10%

Administrators may adjust weights over time; every version is recorded.

Your private information stays private.

Your public profile shows your preferred name, professional experience, and credentials. The following are never publicly displayed:

  • Legal identification documents
  • Date of birth
  • Home address
  • Private email and telephone number
  • Background-check reports
  • Identification numbers
