A good gig job is more than some extra cash, and lets people lead whole lives. We find at Manana some of our helpers work full-time, while others are between full-time jobs, students, or recent graduates. They are hard-working, helpful individuals who want to expand their earning potential through a part-time job that offers a ton of flexibility. Flexible scheduling, flexible skill requirements, and flexible pay.
Based in Nashville, TN, Manana is a caregiving marketplace connecting thoughtful, qualified caregivers with families who need them. As a Helper, you will need to undergo a background check and complete a personal profile, but you won’t need specific skills or certifications to commit to shifts or a minimum number of hours, or negotiate pay. Manana makes it easy for you to choose the services, schedule, and pay that fit your needs.
Part time work can feel inconsistent and impersonal
Apps like DoorDash and Uber have made it easy to pick up side gigs on your schedule, but for those with a caring spirit, these jobs can feel impersonal or draining. Many part-time workers report:
- Unpredictable pay: Tips vary, and app payment structures are constantly shifting.
- No real connection or community: The work is fast-paced and transactional. You’re often working alone, with little opportunity to form relationships or feel part of something.
- Limited skill-building: These gigs rarely offer opportunities for growth. There’s little room to apply critical thinking, build new competencies, or add meaningful experience to a resume.
Many workers have shared frustration with feeling like they’re working hard for inconsistent income, and, for people who want more than just a way to pass the time or pay the bills, gig work can feel hollow.
Going beyond what typical gig apps offer
Manana flips the script by helping caregivers in Nashville find part-time or flexible caregiving jobs. Here’s what sets Manana apart:
