How it works
How it works
No matter where you choose to land on the sliding scale, our commitment to high‑quality, restorative care remains the same. We believe everyone deserves a clean, peaceful space—and we do our best to accommodate a wide range of budgets and needs.
Before your first service, you’ll select the sliding‑scale rate that feels right for you. You’re welcome to choose any amount within your scale—no questions asked, no judgment. The rate you select will apply to all future sessions unless changed.
You’re free to adjust your rate at any time, and any changes will take effect before your next scheduled service. Once a service begins, the previously chosen rate is final for that appointment.
Special fees
Special fees
We are proud to serve the greater Triangle area in North Carolina. A small fee of ¢30/mi will be added for clients more than 20 minutes from Durham Station.
Please ensure that litter boxes are maintained especially before service and any surrounding litter cleaned up before arrival. If Homecare Assistant(s) encounter any biohazard issues, including litter on floors a $100 fee will be added. We do not provide pet care or cleaning services.
Advanced notice is preferred for any deep grout cleaning. An extra $20 per half hour of grout cleaning will be added to your final invoice.
We kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a service. This allows us to offer the time slot to another client and ensures our workers are compensated fairly. We understand that emergencies happen. In cases of non-emergency cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice, a cancellation fee may apply.
Where your money goes
Where your money goes
At Baba Homecare, we are committed to dignified pay for the people doing the work—especially in a field that’s been historically undervalued, underpaid, and invisibilized. All our cleaners make $20-25/hr with a training wage of $18/hr.
Your cleaning fee directly supports:
Fair wages for BIPOC, queer, trans, disabled, and neurodivergent workers
Paid training rooted in accessibility, trauma-informed care, and anti-oppression
A queer- and trans-owned business building sustainable, community-rooted care systems
Sliding scale access for clients facing financial barriers
We believe care work is skilled labor. We price accordingly—and transparently—so everyone involved is treated with respect.
Tipping
Tipping
All Homecare Assistants at Baba Homecare are paid a fair wage of $21–27/hr, so no one relies on tips for income. Tipping is always optional, and you’re welcome to add one through any payment method you prefer.
If you’d like to adjust your hourly sliding‑scale rate to include tips for your Homecare Assistant, just reach out to team@babahomecare.com or call/text (919) 537‑9230. Thank you!
