TOP 10 FAQ’s

Your Questions, Answered

No. Uplift is not an employer. With Uplift, you are your own boss and you own the relationship with your

clients. We’re here to support you in building your own business - connecting you to new clients in your

area and supporting you through the process. We set you up for success by providing online training

resources, insurance coverage, social media support, and 24/7 Care Support - for any issues or questions

you have.

1. Is there a boss to report to?

2. How do I get paid?

As your own boss, you set your own hourly wage. We add a 20% premium that is passed on to Care

Managers - for 24/7 Care Support Team and other advantages of using our technology. That means, you

make exactly what you believe you’re worth - you have unlimited potential!

3. How do I determine my hourly wage?

Based on your experience, you may want to charge higher or lower than the average - $16 per hour. Our

online training videos will help you set up your business. We place no limits on what you can earn, however,

we do enforce a minimum wage - all Care Givers are paid a living wage in their area.

4. Can I work for another company while I’m using Uplift?

Yes. You can use Uplift on a full-time basis, or you can work when you’re available - you are in control of

your schedule. If you currently work for a home care agency, you can use Uplift to pick up hours in the

evenings or weekends with new clients - anytime, you work when you want without having to travel

outside of your neighbourhood.

5. What are the benefits of being a member of Uplift’s Care Giver community?

Uplift makes starting your business easy. We provide you with the tools to set you up for success! Our app

is all you need to manage your schedule, book new clients and build deeply personal relationships. We’re

here to support you and your goals - providing you with access to new clients and the support to reach

your potential. You must have a smartphone - Android or iPhone to use our app.

6. Do I need to be a licensed Personal Support Worker (PSW) or Home Care Aide to join?

No, you do not need to be certified as a PSW to join Uplift. Simple tasks, like grocery shopping, house

keeping, and companionship do not require a PSW license.

7. Can I refer a friend?

Absolutely! In fact, for each new Care Giver you refer to us, that is accepted through our vigorous vetting

process - we will reward each of you with $10. It’s a nice win-win!

8. Can I refer a client?

At Uplift we’re all about sharing the love. For each new Care Manager you refer to our platform, you’ll get a

$20 reward, and we’ll give them $20 towards their first Care Visit. We’re here to reward you for building

your business.

9. Do I need liability insurance?

Safety is our #1 priority. As such, we insure each Care Giver for up to $1 million in liability, theft, abuse, and

malpractice. Any disputes can be raised with our Care Support Team - 24/7.

10. What if I don’t feel safe in a client’s home?

We make it safe for you to do your work. After each Care Visit, you will be asked to rate the “Safety of the

Environment”, helping future Care Givers know any potential risks before entering a home. Any clients that

have below our safety threshold will be asked to leave our platform.
