homehero isn't going to work either. You're competing with word-of-mouth, craigslist, basically any other thing where jobs are posted. On top of that, if you have nobody posting caregiver jobs on it, you have no product, because people will check it out, find that there are no caregivers there and then never come back.

Flowtab provided a service that wasn't needed, this doesn't either.

I don't agree at all. Care-giving for elderly is definitely a growth industry. It's not easy building a marketplace, but I think this one has potential.
