FAQ for Companions
Through WISE, you can browse clients in your community and pick the best jobs for you. You will be able to see the services requested, proximity of location, and start-end date and time of jobs.
There are no minimum hours required to work. At WISE Companion Care (WCC) you can work as much or as little as you want.
WISE does not require companion caregivers to have formal training, as you are considered an independent worker. However, companions who hold certifications—such as CPR, First Aid, or relevant caregiving experience—often stand out and are selected more frequently by members. While training isn’t mandatory, it can increase your opportunities and build trust with the families you support.
Initial criteria to be considered as a companion:
- Must be 18 years of age or older.
- English-speaking (Bi-Lingual is a plus).
- Access to a cellphone.
- Able to pass a background check.
No, you do not have to provide client transportation to be a companion. However, roughly twenty to thirty-five percent of WISE Companion Care’s client service requests include basic transportation for short errands. If you are unable to provide client transportation service, you would not be eligible to be matched with client transport requests.
You can view job history, upcoming shifts, and easily manage or cancel appointments through your online WISE account.
WISE companions are paid weekly via direct deposit. Through your WISE account online, you’ll have easy access to all your WCC job information such as your recent income, hours worked, and number of shifts completed.
If you’re a companion and have a compliance concern, please reach out to email our team at compliance@WISEcpc.org
