Is there a fee to request quotes?
There is no platform fee to send a request. The rate you agree on is between you and the caregiver.
Compare profiles, send one request to several caregivers, and see who replies.
On a profile, the CERTIFIED badge means the Ontario certificates required for that listing are on file with ComforHome. Many people use it as a first screen — you'll still want to read the full profile and ask to see originals yourself before you hire.
If you're weighing a few caregivers, profiles usually show the same basics side by side:
Log in, describe what you need, and pick caregivers near you. You can ask for a rate in your message — many charge around $19–23/hour, depending on the care involved and the person's needs. A clearer request usually means clearer quotes back.
Sending the same request to a few caregivers often makes it easier to match on qualifications, schedule, and travel time. A message you can copy, paste, and adjust saves time when you're reaching out to several people.
Your request goes to the caregivers you chose within minutes. When someone's schedule allows, they'll reply to the email address on your form — then you can set up a call, video chat, or visit in person.

No — you decide who to talk to or hire.
You arrange that together — e-transfer, cheque, and direct deposit are common. ComforHome does not handle payments.
That varies by area, timing, and how many people you contacted.
You can browse more profiles, send another request, or add more detail next time.
Meet the caregiver first — in person or on video. Ask to see original certificates, and put duties, schedule, and pay in a written agreement before work starts.
