For your profile, we would like you to make a 30-second descriptive video/voice note. The video/voice note is for potential clients and their families to see who you are and what your personality is like. Having a video/voice note with your profile improves the likelihood of our clients choosing you as a match.


Below is a guide on what you can say for your video/voice note:


Hi, my name is ....... (First name ONLY)

I am a caregiver.

I have a total number of ........... years experience.

My skills include............ (Example: Dementia Care, Frail Care, Palliative Care, Post-operative Care, Wound Care Monitoring, PEG Tube Feeding, etc)

I am a very........ (Compassionate, Caring, honest, loving, trustworthy, confident - you can choose or add) person

I enjoy what I do, thank you.


A few things to think about when you make the video:


  • Make sure the orientation of your phone is Landscape 
  • Don't use the Zoom option as this will pixelate your video and that won't look professional
  • Avoid using a flashlight and rather use natural light. Try standing near a window. 
  • Stand in a Quiet space. With background noises, you will be difficult to understand. 
  • Check the size of your video, it should not be bigger than 500 MB and should only last around 30 seconds.
  • You must wear your Caregiving Uniform and stand/sit in a clean background.
  • Don’t mention your Surname and Age (for privacy reasons and the video will be on the website for a long time
