How it works

Three steps. No contracts.

  1. 1. Tell us what your parent needs

    Choose the service, the day and how many hours. It takes about two minutes.

  2. 2. Meet your caregiver

    We match a vetted caregiver who lives nearby and speaks your parent's language. You know who's coming before the first visit.

  3. 3. Care starts at home

    Book once, or set up regular visits. You pay only for the hours booked.

More about how it works

Why Nearkin

Care that feels like family.
Booked like an app.

Know who's coming before they arrive

Every caregiver passes a vulnerable sector police check, an interview, reference checks and Nearkin training. Personal Care is only by certified PSWs.
