You might be reading this because
- You are a retired or semi-retired nurse, social worker, teacher, or community health worker
- You are a former agency coordinator who still knows the caregivers in your neighborhood
- You are the community leader families already trust as the first call
- You are an adult child who has coordinated care for your own parents and understand the weight of it
What we do
- We meet new member families in their language, at their own pace
- We know the names of the parents we serve
- We are the first call when a question comes up, when something goes sideways, when a family just needs a human voice
- We help plan around the rhythms of the family, the season, the holidays that matter
- We keep a trusted list of iCaria Certified helpers and drivers we have seen do good work
We are not clinicians, financial advisors, or legal decision-makers. Part of the work is knowing when to refer.
What we do not do
- No medical or clinical decisions
- No holding a family's money or accepting payment from them
- No acting as a legal agent or power of attorney
- No working outside the iCaria Certified network
What we stand behind you with
- A professional contractor engagement. You run your own practice.
- A revenue share on every member family you serve, with bonuses when families stay
- iCaria Advocate Certified training, delivered inside the advocate portal with iCaria Together videos and a knowledge quiz per module
- Software built around your actual work: caseload, messaging, ledger, renewals
- A caseload sized for real human attention, not a volume treadmill
The work
How an advocate works
Three parts to the job, once a family is assigned to you.
Families are assigned
Matched to you by language and neighbourhood. You meet them at their pace and learn the household before anyone comes to the door.
Set up care plans and teams
You draft the care plan, and it goes live once the family approves it. Then you build their regular team from iCaria Certified helpers and drivers you have watched do good work.
Coordinate care
You follow visits as they happen, step in when one needs it, rate on the family's behalf, and keep the plan current as things change.
What could this pay?
Move the sliders to match the caseload you could realistically carry. Every figure comes from our live compensation settings, not a brochure.
Estimated monthly
CA$1,500
about CA$18,000 a year
- 25 Basic families
- CA$938
- 3 Pro families
- CA$563
An estimate, not an offer. What you actually earn varies with your area, how much time you give it, the mix of families you support, and how active they are. Your caseload is set with you, not fixed by this page. New ways to earn are likely to open up as premium services are added.
Tell us about yourself
We read every application. We reach back in your preferred language.
Applying takes about ten minutes. From there: a background check, a credential review, the Advocate Agreement and your training, then you shadow a colleague before your first family.
The families you serve deserve someone who looks like home. That has been you already.
