Referrals only go so far
Personal referrals, social media posts and informal recommendations mean long search times and no way to compare options.

The problem
Finding care shouldn't depend on who you happen to know.
Across Cameroon, families searching for a caregiver fall back on WhatsApp groups, church announcements and word of mouth. It is slow, it is uneven, and it puts the most vulnerable people in the house at risk.
CareLink exists to replace that guesswork with something checkable.
No way to check
Families cannot easily confirm a caregiver's identity, qualifications, experience or reliability before opening their front door.
Highest stakes, least support
New mothers, newborns, elderly parents, people living with a disability and patients recovering from surgery are the ones who need reliability most.
Skilled caregivers go unseen
Trained caregivers stay unemployed or underemployed because no structured platform connects them to the families looking for them.
How it works
Four steps, start to visit.
This is the whole V1 loop. Nothing hidden, nothing extra.

Caregiver accepts
The caregiver accepts or declines. If they accept, you two arrange the visit details and payment directly.
You stay in control
In V1, CareLink handles introductions and verification. Scheduling reminders, digital care records and in-app payments come later.
Care types
Care built around the person, not a job title.
Six care categories, drawn from what families in Cameroon actually ask for.
Our caregivers
Real people, checked by our team.
We are onboarding our first cohort of verified caregivers in Yaoundé — a small group, interviewed one by one, so families can trust every profile on the platform.

Safety
Verified means a person checked. Here's exactly what that means today.
We would rather tell you the truth about our process than imply we have technology we don't.
Identity check
We meet each caregiver and confirm their identity documents in person.
Experience interview
A structured interview about their care background and the situations they have handled.
Reference calls
We contact previous employers, clients or training institutions where the caregiver can provide them.
Manual badge
Only after those steps does our team publish the profile with the "Verified by CareLink" badge. There is no automated approval.
What we don't do yet
- We do not run automated background checks. Verification is manual and done by a small team.
- We do not host ratings or reviews yet. We won't publish scores until we have enough completed bookings for them to mean anything.
- We do not process payments. You and your caregiver agree on terms directly.
- We are not an emergency service. If someone needs urgent medical help, contact emergency services or your nearest health facility.
Our first cohort is intentionally small — 5 to 10 verified caregivers — because verifying properly takes time.

Questions
Straight answers.
What does "Verified by CareLink" actually mean?
It means a member of our team met the caregiver, confirmed their identity documents, interviewed them about their experience, and called the references they provided. The badge is added manually. We do not use automated background checks in V1.
Does CareLink cost anything?
No. Browsing, creating an account and sending booking requests are free, and joining as a caregiver is free during the Yaoundé pilot. CareLink does not process payments or take a commission in V1.
How do I pay my caregiver?
Directly. You and the caregiver agree on rates and payment method between yourselves. In-app payments are on our roadmap, not in this version.
Which cities do you cover?
Yaoundé for now. We are starting in one city so we can verify every caregiver properly. Douala, Bafoussam and Bamenda follow the pilot.
Can I find a caregiver who speaks French, or English?
Yes — language is a search filter. You can filter for caregivers who speak English, French, or both.
How fast will a caregiver respond?
The caregiver is notified as soon as you send a request and can accept or decline it. We cannot promise a response time, and we will tell you honestly rather than guess.
Are there ratings and reviews?
Not yet. Ratings need a real volume of completed bookings to be fair to caregivers and useful to families. We will add them when we have that.
Is this for medical emergencies?
No. CareLink is for planned home care. For urgent medical situations, contact emergency services or your nearest health facility.
I'm a caregiver. How do I get listed?
Create a caregiver account, tell us about your care experience, languages and city, and our team will contact you to complete verification. Your profile goes live once verification is done.
Join as a caregiverWhat happens to my information?
We collect only what a booking needs: your name, contact details, city and the care you're requesting. Your details are shared with a caregiver only when you send them a request.
Care you can check, at your doorstep.
