Have clients in Vancouver Island find your profile, for free
Outside Greater Victoria, Vancouver Island communities such as Nanaimo, Duncan, Parksville, the Comox Valley and Campbell River are spread along the coast, and families can be far from home-care services.
Care-Linked lets caregivers on the Island list themselves for free, so families in their community can find a local provider and contact them directly.

Working as a caregiver on Vancouver Island
Island communities can be far apart, so most caregivers serve their own town and the area around it. A caregiver who lives nearby can make a big difference to a family.
In smaller communities, a wider radius may be worthwhile. You can list a mileage or flat trip fee so travel is covered.

Common questions
Caregiver FAQ for Vancouver Island
Can I register if I live outside Canada?
Not at this time. Care-Linked lists people who already live in Canada and are legally allowed to work here, plus Canadian agencies and non-profits whose staff meet the same rule. We are a local directory, not a job-placement, immigration or visa-sponsorship service.
Is Care-Linked free for caregivers?
Yes. You can create and publish your caregiver profile for free.
Does Care-Linked employ caregivers?
No. Care-Linked is an introduction service. You stay independent, and families contact you directly to agree on the work.
Can I choose how far I'm willing to travel?
Yes. You pick a service radius from 1 to 50 km around your area, and you can change it at any time.
Can I list myself if I live in a smaller Island community?
Yes. Families search by postal code, so anyone within your radius can find you.
Can I charge for travel on the Island?
Yes. Your profile can show mileage, a flat trip fee or transit fare paid by the family.
Can I serve Nanaimo and nearby towns?
Yes. A larger radius from Nanaimo can include nearby communities such as Lantzville or Ladysmith.
