How do I book a PSW?
Sign in to the CareNearby app, tap the + button, choose the type of care you need, pick a date and time (or book on-demand), select a PSW near you, and confirm. Your PSW accepts the request and you can track their arrival in real time.
How much does care cost?
Care is $25 per hour with a 3-hour minimum per visit. You see the full price before you confirm a booking — no hidden fees.
How do I cancel a booking?
Open the booking in the app and tap Cancel. Cancellations made before the PSW starts travelling to you are free. See our Terms of Service for the full cancellation and refund policy.
How do I get a refund?
If a visit was cancelled or something went wrong, contact support with your booking details and we will review it promptly. Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method.
Are PSWs background-checked?
Yes. Every PSW on CareNearby submits identity documents and a police check before their profile is approved and shown to clients.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Profile, scroll to the bottom, and tap Delete Account. Your personal data is removed as described in our Privacy Policy.
I am a PSW — how do I join?
Download the app, register as a PSW with your phone number, and complete the onboarding steps: profile, service area, and document upload (ID and police check). Our team reviews and approves new PSWs.
Is CareNearby a medical service?
No. PSWs provide personal support — help with daily living, companionship, and mobility — not medical or nursing care. For medical emergencies, call 911.
