About this template

This caregiver application form runs on Formester's drag-and-drop builder, sized for families hiring nannies and agencies placing caregivers with clients.

The template captures CPR / First Aid certification, background-check consent, prior positions, references, and specific caregiving experience (infant, toddler, school-age, elderly, special-needs), then routes each application to the family or the agency's placement coordinator.

Use conditional logic to surface age-group specific fields based on the family's needs, and to require specialty certifications (special-needs training, medication administration) when the role calls for them.

Every submission auto-acknowledges the caregiver and pushes to the family or agency dashboard via webhook, with the completed PDF stored securely for the hiring file.

Yes. The template ships a file upload field with configurable size and file-type limits. PDF, DOC, DOCX, and PNG/JPG all supported.
