How It Works

Welcome to CaregiverAsia. We are here to help you find qualified, dependable, and professional care for you and your loved ones. We are a home care specialist headquartered in Singapore since 2015, delivering care through our award-winning online care marketplace - www.caregiverasia.com. Besides Singapore, we also have operations in Malaysia and the USA.

CaregiverAsia gives instant relief to people facing care emergencies by allowing them to search and book for respite, step-down and home care in a transparent and affordable manner. Through a simple search on our website, you would be able to access the profiles of multiple Caregivers registered with us. You can search for care via pricing, care specialisation and availability. Booking confirmations are instantaneous and can be done anytime through our online realtime calendar system or via our hotline at +65 6258 6683.

CaregiverAsia’s community of Caregivers are proud freelancers (and if you are one, we want you in our community!). In order to be listed with us, we go through careful screening to make sure that each Caregiver has the necessary training/experience and the mandatory licenses to carry out their care services. There is an opt-in process to have their backgrounds checked with a third party specialist. We believe in transparancy, and along with the Caregivers' profiles, you will be able to see open reviews of their previous care sessions. We standby our mark of quality, and services booked through our platform are insured up to SGD100,000 per case.

We invite you to explore our services at www.caregiverasia.com or join our community on www.facebook.com/CaregiverAsia.

Unlike most traditional providers, our community of Caregivers are predominantly freelancers who have the necessary training/experience and mandatory licenses to provide care services. By offering this new model of community home care, our 5,000 (and counting) freelance community augments the current pool of Caregivers available to provide the care that we need in the face of a medical emergency, post injury recuperation post or helping an elderly loved one age-in-place gracefully.

CaregiverAsia does not employ our Caregivers directly. Instead, we allow Careseekers to choose and hire the services of the Caregiver directly, with the same quality safety nets, insurance protection and buyer-seller legal agreements offered by traditional providers. By booking only the hours you require, and allowing Caregivers to practice on their own terms as freelancers, both parties benefit by building long-term relationships.

We believe in empowering our Caregivers with a viable livelihood through Caregiving, and as such, we do not impose any charges on our Caregivers. For the Careseeker, we add a booking charge to the total bill, paid by the Careseeker, to cover the cost of administration.

Our community of Caregivers are proud, passionate, independent healthcare and home care practitioners who provide direct care to Careseekers. They come from all walks of life, and we have doctors, nurses, therapists, counsellors, babysitters, care companions, medical escorts, and confinement nannies listing their services with us.

Through our care marketplace, www.caregiverasia.com, we provide a platform for our freelance Caregivers to broadcast their services to people and families in need of their care services.

CaregiverAsia was conceived by Careseekers for people like you and me when it comes to finding care easily and in a timely fashion. The heart of CaregiverAsia is our online marketplace, www.caregiverasia.com, which connects our large and growing community of freelance Caregivers with families in need of medical and home care.

Everyone is free to browse for Caregivers and services on our website. In order to make a booking or sign up as a Caregiver, you will need to create an account with us. This is to ensure the continued safety of our Caregiving ecosystem. Simply sign up with your LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+ accounts, or complete an online registration form with your email address.

For Careseekers, you can start booking services online upon successful creation of an account. Once you have found a care service you would like to book, you can check the Caregiver’s availability from the online calendar system. Drag-and-select the hours you need, click “Book Now”, follow the prompts and pay via your credit card or eNets and that’s it! Your service is confirmed, and your Caregiver will turn up at the appointed time. Finally, CaregiverAsia offers an open rating system so you can rate your Caregiver and if you like them - have them back again.

If you are unable to find a care service or suitable time schedule of your chosen Caregiver, our Care Line at +65 6258 6683 is always ready to provide a helping hand. If you are uncertain about a service or using our website, you can also contact us on the Livechat button on the website.

Please refer to the frequently asked questions and step-by-step guide below to find out more from a Careseeker's perspective.

For Caregivers, you can start posting your services upon successful creation of an account. Please refer to the frequently asked questions and step-by-step guide below to find out more from a Caregiver's perspective.

Your safety and those in our community are our top priorities. We understand that it is often a stressful decision when choosing a Caregiver, as attending to a medical emergency or care needs of a loved one is one of the most vulnerable situations. We have put in various checks to ensure the safety of our community, so please bear with us on this rather lengthy explanation of what we do!

We prioritise our safety measures into three major areas:

1. Ensuring Proper Caregiver Qualifications

CaregiverAsia prides itself on being able to offer a comprehensive range of care services, from medical and nursing services to personal care services, and to baby and child care services. As such, our Caregivers come from all professional backgrounds, and we classify our Caregivers into two broad categories when assessing the neccesary qualifications/experience and mandatory licenses they need to have before providing their services to you.

In the first group are Caregivers who freelance as Doctors, Registered Nurses, Allied Health Professionals (includes Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists and Dieticians) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM Practitioners). By law, to practice in such professions, these professionals must be licensed by their professional bodies and councils, and in Singapore, these are governed by the state, under the Singapore Ministry of Health. Caregivers who list themselves on our platform as providers of these services, will need to submit their licenses to us for verfication before their listings can be approved.

In the second group are Caregivers who practice in care areas which have no formal licensing bodies, and these include Counsellors, Chiropractors, Nurse Aides, Care Companions, Baby Sitters, Confinement Nannies and Medical Escorts. In such cases, we will verify their qualifications via a range of documentations, including educational certifications, training certifications and memberships in corresponding Professional Associations if applicable.

All Caregivers are also encouraged to take on our Foundational Caregiving Online Training Programme, co-designed with NTUC Learning Hub, before they start taking on Caregiving duties. This covers the foundation of Hand Hygiene, Grooming and Communications Skills necessary for home Caregivers. For Caregivers who have completed this training programme with us, a training badge will be turned on in their profiles.

2. Legal & Insurance Safety Nets for Care Services

Booking and purchasing a service on our website or through our Care Line, automatically enters you into a binding service agreement with the Caregiver, and this, together with the website’s Terms of Service, covers the four bases in a Contract for Service Agreement which includes:

a. Scope of Service

b. Service Variation(s)

c. Payment Terms

d. Dispute Resolution

Having a formal Contract for Service Agreement in place, allows for clarity and transparency for both parties (Caregiver and Careseeker), especially for important activities like caring and looking after a loved one.

In addition to this, all cases booked through our Website and Care Line, are covered by insurance, which covers the Caregiver for the following unfortunate situations:

a. Medical Malpractice

b. Professional Liability

c. Loss of Documents

d. Breach of Confidentiality

3. Backgrounds of Caregivers

CaregiverAsia only works with Caregivers who are Singaporeans and Singapore Permanent Residents.

Complementing our in-house interview and screening process, we also work with Avvanz*, a third party background check company to offer opt-in background screenings for Caregivers across 4,000 global databases. These databases are the same as those being used by global enforcement agencies to check for criminality, financial embarrassment and terrorism alerts. Caregivers who have cleared the background check will have a badge turned on in their profiles. Caregivers who fail the background check will not be allowed to list their services with us.

* Avvanz, is a Singapore-headquartered company of more than 150 employees with global presence in Asia, North America and Europe.

Besides these pre-service safety nets, we also invite Careseekers to review the services of our Caregivers online. This encourages a spirit of transparency and service excellence in our community.

Caregivers on our platform provide a wide range of services, including general home care, home nursing care, confinement and babysitting services, home therapy services and respite care etc.

General Home Care

Our experienced caregivers will come to your home to help your loved ones and elderly in your family with daily activities and improve their personal well-being.

Home Nursing Care

Our home nurses will provide your loved ones and elderly with the same nursing procedures you would receive in a nursing care facility or hospital, all from the comfort of your own home.

Confinement and Babysitting Services

These are care services for mums-to-be, new mums and newborns. They include confinement nanny services, pregnancy massages, post-pregnancy massages, baby massages, babysitting and caring for children with special needs.

Booking can be done 24 hours, 7 days a week via our website or Call Centre at +65 6258 6683.

Our freelance Caregivers are given the freedom to stipulate their schedules, work hours and minimum service periods.

CaregiverAsia insures you and the Caregiver only for the care services booked, scheduled and paid via our platform and Call Centre. Using our platform also ensures that the Caregiver has the necessary qualifications, licenses and/or background checks to perform their services.

Our Caregiver may have forgotten to update their availability. Please reach out to our Call Centre at +65 6258 6683 so that we can contact the Caregiver on your behalf.

Yes! If you already know a Caregiver whom you would like to hire, you can ask them to sign up with CaregiverAsia and it is completely free.

They will need to go through our regular onboarding process, and you can hire them through the platform once they have been approved.

Yes, you can sign up with their name, phone number and address, instead of your own. In this way, we will be able to see their details and be able to call them directly if there are any issues.

Alternatively, you may sign up with your own personal details and specify in the booking details that the care is for your parents, aged XX, the type of support they require and you may also include their contact number. Caregivers will receive this information and will know to expect a different person other than the account holder.

Besides creating an easy-to-use platform, we also want to support our Caregivers along their freelance caregiving journey.

Caregiver Achievement Badge was initiated to allow Caregivers to earn badges in order to increase their visibility and their chances of getting jobs. The badges can be classified into the following:

1. Background Check Badge

The Caregiver has passed our background check and is definitely safe to have in your home, taking care of you and your loved ones.

2. Personal Indemnity Insurance Badge

The Caregiver is covered by CaregiverAsia's Personal Indemnity - Medical Malpractice Protection Insurance.

3. Training Badge

The Caregiver has passed the Caregiver Awareness Course by NTUC Learning Hub and passed with flying colours.

Under each Caregiver’s profile, you may view their qualifications under “certifications and licenses” and “training courses completed through CaregiverAsia”. Caregivers will also be awarded with training badges, upon completion of training courses, under our training accreditation program.

There are 4 tiers of training badges in order of achievement: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum . These badges will be displayed on Caregivers’ profiles if applicable.

The Bronze badge is awarded when a Caregiver has achieved 1-5 training points as part of our training accreditation program. The purpose of such trainings is to equip Caregivers with basic knowledge and skills needed to deliver certain caregiving services.

The Silver badge is awarded to a Caregiver who has achieved 6-10 training points by completing intermediary training sessions, as part of our training accreditation program.

Freelancers are not employees of any company and it is important to have an insurance coverage which covers amongst others, medical malpractice, professional indemnity, loss of documents and breach of professional confidentiality.

CaregiverAsia partners with Great Eastern to offer a professional indemnity insurance which is a form of a liability insurance that protects Caregivers like you from liability associated with wrongful practices. It provides coverage from any claims made against Caregivers from Careseekers, as well as expenses incurred in the defence of settling the legal issue.

•  Estate & Legal Representative

CaregiverAsia is committed to providing the fullest support to freelance caregivers. Financial safety nets, such as this insurance Policy, will allow our freelance Caregivers to practice their trade with peace of mind.

All registered freelance Caregivers, with the exception of Medical Doctors, are automatically covered under this Policy up to a maximum of S$500 for one claim per year, for cases booked through CaregiverAsia.
