For Families
For Companions
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Support Needs
Create a listing to describe your home, your loved one, and the type of companionship you need:
- Live-in support – a companion stays in your home full-time
- Regular support – companions visit on a set schedule
- Flexible support – occasional or as-needed visits
You can save your listing as a draft and complete it before submission.
Step 1: Create Your Companion Profile
Build your profile to showcase:
- Photo and short introduction
- Experience, motivations, and availability
- Types of support you offer: Live-in, Regular, Flexible
Save your profile as a draft and complete it before submitting for review.
Step 2: Browse and Connect with Trusted Companions
- Explore verified companion profiles with experience, references, and reviews.
- Use secure platform messaging to communicate without sharing personal contact info prematurely.
- Focus on alignment with your expectations, values, and schedule.
Tip: MindMyElder is for non-medical companionship only, so prioritize connection, presence, and reliability over clinical skills.
Step 2: Browse Listings and Connect with Families
- Browse family listings to find opportunities that match your availability and interests.
- Reach out via secure messaging to introduce yourself and ask questions.
- Look for situations where you can offer genuine presence and make a meaningful difference.

Step 3: Agree and Welcome Companionship at Home
- Discuss tasks, schedules, and boundaries clearly before visits.
- Confirm arrangements with the companion (financial, lodging, or combination).
- Optional written agreements help clarify expectations and ensure peace of mind.
Tip: You can pause, update, or unpublish your listing anytime from your dashboard.
Step 3: Agree and Begin Offering Companionship
