How it works
Apply
Create your free account and build your profile. We review every Villager before going live — this isn't a free-for-all.
Team review
Our team personally reviews your profile — verifying you're local, confirming your identity, and making sure you're a genuine fit for our community.
Get matched with families
Once approved, your profile goes live. Families message you and book directly — no middleman, no commission taken.
How we review every Villager
Every application is personally reviewed by our team before a profile goes live.
- Zip code verified in our service area
- Signup location reviewed
- Social profiles checked for identity
- Profile photo confirmed as genuine
- Bio reviewed for authenticity
- Quick public search for red flags
Villagers can optionally add a Checkr background check badge ($54.99) from their dashboard for additional family trust.
What you keep
Village Acres charges families a flat $5/month membership. We take zero commission on what you earn. If a family pays you $20/hour, you keep $20/hour.
You negotiate directly with families. You invoice however you prefer — Zelle, Venmo, cash, whatever works. We stay out of the transaction entirely.
No monthly fee. No commission. Ever.
Your profile is free — for life. We make money from families, not from you.
