And remember, our Support Team is always available if you need additional help.

How do I connect with Providers?

Launch the Upwards app and tap on ‘Childcare’ in the bottom navigation bar.

2. Search for Providers
Enter your location or the specific Upwards location you’re interested in.

3. Start a Conversation
Tap the “Message” button on the provider’s profile to start a direct conversation.

4. Share Your Care Needs
Send a message introducing yourself and describing your care needs. The provider will receive a notification in their Upwards app and respond to you as soon as possible.
