Nearkin
Request care

How it works

From request to first visit, without the runaround.

Nearkin is built for adult children arranging care for a parent, often from across town or across the country.

How it works

  1. 1. Tell us what your parent needs

    Choose the level of care, the day, the start time and how many hours. Add their postal code, the language they're most comfortable in, and anything we should know.

  2. 2. We match a caregiver nearby

    We look for a vetted caregiver who lives close to your parent, speaks their language and is free when you need them.

  3. 3. Meet before the first visit

    You know who's coming before they arrive. A short meet-and-greet lets your parent and the caregiver say hello first.

  4. 4. Care starts at home

    Book a single visit, or set up regular visits on the days that suit your parent. Change or cancel future visits any time.

We're just getting started

Nearkin is starting in Mississauga and Brampton and onboarding its first caregivers. Send a request now: we'll save it and contact you as soon as caregivers are available near your parent.

Built for families who can't always be there

  • Book for someone else

    Enter your parent's postal code. Nearkin contacts you about the booking, not your parent, unless you ask us to.

  • Nearby means reliable

    Caregivers live close to the people they visit, so they're on time, can cover short notice and know the neighbourhood.

  • Their language, their way

    We match by language as well as availability: English, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Mandarin, Cantonese, Tamil, Tagalog and more.

  • Clear prices

    One hourly price per level. No subscription, no contract, no sign-up fee.
