SeenTo

For families who hire a caregiver directly

Mom's care,
seen to.

You found a good caregiver on your own. SeenTo shows you, after every visit, that she arrived, what got done and what your mother chose to skip. It also keeps you on the right side of the rules that come with being an employer.

Free for your caregiver. No agency in the middle. Opening first in New Jersey.

The gap is yours

Hiring directly lets you pay a caregiver better and still spend less. What you give up is the agency watching. SeenTo puts that back, in your hands.

How it works

Every visit leaves a record you can trust.

1

Set the visit

Pick what each visit should cover from a ready list, and what "done" means for each. Your mother can add to it from the same list, the night before or while her caregiver is there.

2

She checks in

Your caregiver taps in when she arrives and out when she leaves. Her location is read at those two moments only, and on errands with your mother.

3

The work shows

She marks each task as it goes and photographs the work itself: the folded laundry, the clean counter. Never your mother. The app refuses those photos.

4

The family knows

You and your brothers and sisters get one short summary after each visit, showing only what your mother has agreed to share.

Honest by design

Built so the truth is the easy answer.

"No" is her choice, not a failure

When your mother turns down the walk, it's recorded as her decision. It never counts against the caregiver, and you see the difference.

Partly done needs no proof

A photo is asked for only when a task is marked fully done. Saying "I ran out of detergent" is always quicker than pretending.

Photos checked for you

Each photo is checked against the task it claims and against earlier photos, so a reused picture stands out. A check is a prompt to look, never a verdict on her.

Nobody shows up? You hear first.

If there's no check-in by 30 minutes after the start, you get a text, with your backup caregivers one tap away.

Her notes, in plain words

Your caregiver writes a line at the end of the visit, in her own language. You read it in yours, with anything worth acting on picked out.

Her visit, her say

Your mother can ask for anything on her list from her own simple app, ahead of time or on the day. Her caregiver sees the request at once and answers yes, or not today and why. A request that doesn't fit in the time never counts against her.

Errands with Mom, counted

Trips to the doctor or the pharmacy log their own miles, so reimbursing your caregiver is a number, not a guess.

Doing it right

When you hire her, you're an employer. We make that simple.

Household employers owe Social Security and Medicare taxes once they pay one worker $3,000 in a year (IRS, 2026). New Jersey's Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights adds a written agreement, a notice of rights, set breaks and notice before ending the job. Most families find out after the fact.

A job agreement for your state
Built from your answers: hours, pay, duties, breaks, time off.
Timesheets that keep themselves
Hours and breaks come straight from her check-ins. You approve the week.
However you pay her
Cash, Venmo, Zelle or a check. Log each payment against the week, she confirms she received it, and you both keep the record.
Know where you stand on taxes
A running total of what you've paid this year, a heads-up before it reaches the point where employer taxes apply, and a year-end summary for your accountant. Or let us run payroll for you.
One family, one account
Whoever pays, whoever coordinates, whoever just wants to know: each sees what fits.

For caregivers

Fair to the person doing the work.

A good caregiver is hard to find. SeenTo is built so she wants to use it.

Free, always

Families pay. Caregivers never do.

Her own record

Every hour, break and mile she worked, kept for her, whoever she works for next.

Not followed

No tracking between visits. No audio, no video, ever.

Credit for the hard days

When the client says no, the record says so. Her good work is on the record too.

Founding family pricing

Less than two hours of agency care, each month.

Families on the waitlist keep this price for as long as they stay.

Family

$19 a month

One caregiver, everything in How it works, the whole family on one account. Timesheets and a payment log for cash, Venmo, Zelle or checks, with a year-end summary.

Household, payroll included

$69 a month

Everything in Family, plus payroll: she's paid from approved timesheets and the employer taxes are filed for you. Several caregivers and backups, and the job agreement for your state.

Be first in line.

We're opening state by state, starting with New Jersey. Tell us where your parent lives and we'll write when SeenTo is ready there.

Questions families ask

Does my caregiver have to agree?

Yes. She signs in on her own phone and sees exactly what is recorded and when. Location is read only at check-in, check-out and on errands with your parent, and only after she has been given written notice.

Is there a camera?

No. SeenTo never records audio or video, and it refuses photographs of the person being cared for. The only photos are of finished work.

Do I need a payroll service?

No. On the Household plan, SeenTo pays your caregiver from the timesheets you approve, and our payroll partner withholds and files the employer taxes and sends her W-2. Already have a payroll service? Family exports approved hours to it.

We pay her with Venmo or cash. Does SeenTo still work?

Yes. Record each payment however you made it, and she confirms it in her app, so there's never a question about what was paid. SeenTo keeps a running total for the year and tells you before it reaches $3,000, the 2026 point where Social Security and Medicare taxes apply (IRS). The rules depend on how much you pay, not how you pay it.

Can my mother see it too?

Yes. She has her own simple view of her visits, she can ask for anything on her task list before or during a visit, and she decides what her family sees. If she changes her mind, the next summary follows her wishes.
