1) Job posts are visible to all. Please use your discretion when including information specific to medical conditions, special requirements and other sensitive information.

2) Be sure that you do not include your phone number or email address, any last names or children's names. Posts are visible to all, and we want to save your personal information for private communications.

Job posts are searchable for all, and it is not possible to keep any one person from finding them on the website.

Each of the profiles you view are managed by the carers and service providers that created them. Each profile indicates the specified availability of the provider in an easily accessible checklist located on their profile. We encourage carers to keep their availability up to date and manage their accounts regularly to indicate if they have found a job or are no longer available to work.

You've browsed through profiles and now you want to contact your top candidates. On the carer's profile you will see a 'CONTACT ME' button to send a message to that particular carer. By clicking 'CONTACT ME, a message box will appear where you send a direct, private message through the website. After you've typed everything you'd like to say, just click the 'Send' button.
