    Bookings

    How do I book a caregiver?+

    Browse or search caregivers, choose a package and time slot, then send a booking request. Once the caregiver accepts, you pay to confirm the booking.

    Can I reschedule a session?+

    Yes. Open the booking from My Bookings and choose Reschedule before the session starts. Rescheduling depends on the caregiver's availability for the new time.

    How do cancellations work?+

    You can cancel from the booking details screen. Any refund is calculated based on how far ahead of the session you cancel, as per our cancellation policy.

    What happens during a live session?+

    When a session begins you can follow it in real time, message your caregiver, and see live updates until the session ends.

    Payments & refunds

    Which payment methods can I use?+

    You can pay securely using UPI, debit or credit cards, net banking, and popular wallets through our trusted payment partner.

    When am I charged for a booking?+

    You are charged only after the caregiver accepts your request. The booking is confirmed as soon as the payment succeeds.

    How long do refunds take?+

    Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method or Maa Nest wallet, usually within 5–7 business days depending on your bank.

    Where can I find my invoices?+

    Open the booking from My Bookings to view and download its invoice. A copy is always kept in your booking history.

    What is the Maa Nest wallet?+

    Your wallet holds refunds and rewards. You can apply the balance towards future bookings at checkout.

    Verification

    How are caregivers verified?+

    Every caregiver completes identity verification and a background check, and their profile is reviewed before they can accept any booking.

    What do the profile badges mean?+

    Verified confirms a checked government ID, Police Verified confirms a completed background check, and First Aid marks a certified caregiver.

    Are all listed caregivers background-checked?+

    Yes. Only caregivers who have cleared our verification process appear in search and can be booked.

    Account & sign-in

    How do I sign in?+

    Maa Nest uses your phone number with a one-time password (OTP), so there is no password to remember.

    I didn't receive my OTP. What should I do?+

    Check your network signal, make sure the number is correct, and wait a few seconds before tapping Resend. If it still doesn't arrive, contact support.

    How is my personal information protected?+

    Your data is encrypted and never shared without your consent. You can review and update your details anytime from your profile.

    How do I update or delete my account?+

    Edit your details from Profile, then Edit Profile. To delete your account, reach out to our support team and we'll help you.

    Messaging

    When can I message my caregiver?+

    Chat opens once a booking is confirmed and stays available throughout the active session, so you can share details and updates.

    Can I call my caregiver?+

    Yes. During an active booking you can call directly from the app to coordinate arrival or care details.

    Why is a chat locked?+

    Messaging is available only for confirmed and active bookings. Once a session ends, the conversation becomes read-only in your history.

    Safety

    What does the SOS button do?+

    During an active session, SOS immediately alerts your emergency contacts and Maa Nest Support and shares your live location so help can be arranged.

    How do I add emergency contacts?+

    Add trusted contacts from your profile. They are notified automatically if you trigger an emergency alert during a session.

    How do I report a safety concern?+

    You can report a concern from the active booking or through support. Our team reviews every report quickly and takes appropriate action.

    Can I track the caregiver on the way?+

    Yes. Live tracking lets you follow your caregiver's location while they travel to you and during the session.
