Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of support do you offer?
I offer non-medical companion care and personal assistance for Kelowna seniors. Services include companionship and social visits, meal prep and shared meals, light housekeeping, laundry, errands and appointments, organizing and downsizing, recovery care, travel companionship, and technology help. I serve seniors throughout the Kelowna area.
Think of it as everything a loving daughter would do: showing up fully, staying as long as you need, and genuinely caring about your day.
Do you provide medical or nursing care?
No – Daughter4Hire is a non-medical service. I’m not a nurse or healthcare professional and I don’t administer medication, provide medical assessments, or perform any clinical tasks.
What I provide is just as important: a consistent, caring presence that supports your daily life and keeps you connected, comfortable, and never alone.
If you need medical care, I’m happy to help coordinate with your healthcare team as part of my support role.
Who benefits from companion care in Kelowna?
I provide companion care that Kelowna families trust. I work with seniors who want to maintain their independence and quality of life, and I support families who want peace of mind knowing someone reliable is there.
My clients range from active older adults who just need a little extra help with daily tasks, to those recovering from surgery or managing the challenges of aging. If you or someone you love could use a warm, dependable presence – I’m probably a good fit.
How does getting started work?
Getting started is simple and there’s no pressure. Reach out by phone, email, or through the website and we’ll have a relaxed conversation about what you or your loved one needs.
If you’re local, I’ll follow up with an in-person visit so we can meet face to face and make sure it feels right – because it has to feel right. If you’re coordinating from out of town, we can connect by phone or video first, and I’ll visit your loved one in person once we’re ready to move forward.
Once everyone’s comfortable we’ll build a schedule that fits and start at whatever pace suits you best.
Do you work with men as well as women?
Yes. The women in my life originally inspired my business, but I welcome clients of all genders. What matters most is finding a good fit so you and your loved one feel comfortable and well supported.
Not sure if Daughter4Hire is right for your situation? I’m always happy to talk it through – no pressure.
How much do you charge?
My rate for companion care is $40 per hour with a two hour minimum per visit. No hidden fees. No surprises.
When transportation is needed for errands or appointments, I use the client’s vehicle wherever possible. When my vehicle is required, I drive a 2025 Mitsubishi RVR and charge mileage at the current CRA rate.
Travel companionship has a separate daily rate – reach out and we can discuss the details.
How do I pay?
I require a credit card on file at booking to protect against late cancellations. I collect payment after each visit. You can pay by credit card, Interac debit, e-transfer and cash.
What if my needs change over time?
That’s completely normal – and it’s one of the things that makes Daughter4Hire different. There’s no rigid contract locking you in. As your needs grow or shift, we simply adjust together – more hours, different support, or something entirely new. You’re never stuck and you’re never alone in figuring out what comes next.
Is Daughter4Hire insured?
Yes, Daughter4Hire carries Liability insurance to protect both clients and their families. I also maintain a clean driving record, a current criminal record check, and up to date First Aid/CPR certification. Your peace of mind matters – knowing that you’re in good hands, in every sense, is part of what I’m committed to providing.
