How to Find Your Own PSW or Nurse for homecare without agency
Option 1 : Post on local classifieds
There are various websites like Facebook groups, Kijiji, Craigslist, that you can use to post an ad requesting a PSW for homecare. Then you would request their credentials, like their place of education, any certificates and experience. Afterwards, you would want to set up an interview to see their compatibility with the care receiver.
Option 2: Use caretogo.ca

Afterwards you can directly message them on the app to see if they are a good fit for the care receiver. Afterwards, the caregiver can be booked and their services can be paid for all on the app.
