6. Attend Interviews

Meet with clients in person or via video call to discuss expectations and ensure a good fit. Here is a list of common questions that are often asked in an interview.

  • Questions to Prepare For:
    • What do you enjoy most about caregiving?
    • Which age groups do you have experience with?
    • How do you handle emergencies?
    • What are your favorite activities to do with clients?
    • Can you handle additional tasks like cooking or tutoring?
    • What are your availability and preferred working hours?

7. Do a Trial Period First

Whether you need a job urgently or are exploring opportunities, offering a trial period before committing to a long-term contract is beneficial. This allows both you and the client to ensure a good fit and address any potential issues early on. A successful trial period can lead to a more confident and stable long-term working relationship.

8. Ask for a Contract

Once you are ready to commit after the trial period, ask for a written agreement, or provide one if preferred. Ensure both parties are on the same page about the terms and conditions. If anything is unclear or unsatisfactory, ask for clarification or modifications. For more details, please refer to BC labor standards.

9. Provide Feedback and Follow Up

Maintain regular communication with the client to discuss progress, address concerns, and provide feedback. This helps in maintaining a positive relationship.

  • Communication Tips:
    • Schedule regular check-ins
    • Address issues promptly and constructively
