Care you can check
Profiles carry experience, qualifications, languages, rates, and reviews, so you compare people rather than promises.
Caregiving marketplace · Canada
Care you can trust, from caregivers you choose.
Sequoia connects Canadian families with independent caregivers — for an afternoon of companionship or ongoing daily support. Every caregiver is verified before their profile is visible.
- Identity-checked
- Background-screened
- Paid in the app
Care on your schedule
Book a one-time visit or a recurring arrangement, and change it when the week changes.
One place for all of it
Search, messaging, booking, payment, and the record of each visit live in the same app.
How it works
From a care need to care that is actually arranged
Four steps, all in the app. Nothing is agreed over a phone call, and nothing is paid in cash.

Care, then a record of it
The caregiver clocks in when they arrive and out when they leave. Notes, tasks, and duration sit in the visit record for you both.

Trust & safety
Verified before a single booking
A caregiver cannot be booked until an administrator has read the documents and approved the profile.
Before a caregiver appears
- Government-issued photo ID
- Work eligibility in Canada
- Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Search
- Adult Abuse Registry Check
- Qualifications for the categories they offer
- An administrator approves the profile before it goes live
While care is happening
- Clock-in and clock-out on every visit, so duration is never a guess
- A care log with tasks, breaks, and notes for both sides to read
- Messaging stays inside the app, between people with a request or booking
- SOS for caregivers, and incident reports from families and caregivers
- Payment runs through Sequoia instead of passing hand to hand
Sequoia is a marketplace, not an agency. Caregivers are independent and are not employees of Sequoia. Every page of our safety policy is public — read the Trust & Safety page.
For caregivers
Work on your own terms
Sequoia is a place to find caregiving work and get paid for it properly — without handing your schedule, rate, or client list to an agency.
- Set your own hourly rate and the radius you will travel
- Choose the care categories you support and the languages you speak
- Publish regular availability, plus exceptions for the weeks that differ
- Take one-time visits or recurring engagements, and accept what fits
- Click in and out of each visit and keep your own notes
- Track pending, available, and paid earnings, and request a payout
A verified marketplace, not a noticeboard
Families see your experience, qualifications, and reviews because an administrator has checked them. That is the point: your work is credible before you speak to anyone.
- Reviews only after a completed visit
- Your city and distance, never your street address
- Messaging stays in the app
Questions
Answers before you sign up
Where is Sequoia available?
Sequoia is launching in Canada. Caregivers are searched by city and distance, so you can see who is genuinely nearby before you book.
Is Sequoia a care agency?
No. Sequoia is a marketplace. Caregivers are independent, set their own rates, and choose the work they accept. Sequoia handles discovery, verification, booking, payment, and the record of each visit. It does not employ caregivers.
How are caregivers verified?
Before a caregiver can be booked, an administrator reviews government ID, work eligibility, a Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Search, an Adult Abuse Registry Check, and the qualifications for the categories they offer. The profile only goes live once that review is complete.
What does care cost?
Each caregiver sets their own hourly rate. Before you confirm a booking, the app shows the total for the visit, including the platform fee, so the amount you agree to is the amount you pay.
How do I pay?
Payment is made in the app. Card details never go to the caregiver, and the caregiver's earnings become available after the visit is completed.
What if plans change?
You can cancel from the app. Cancelling inside the free window costs nothing; cancelling later can carry a late cancellation fee, and the app shows that fee before you confirm the cancellation.

Families and caregivers both start in the same app
