Government-funded Home Care

Before any caregiver can be booked through our platform, they have to undergo our vetting process. The minimum requirements are a recent Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector, government issued photo identification, and CPR & First Aid certification.

To learn more, read about our Vetting Process here.

All payment occurs through our platform with the help of Stripe, a secure third party payment processor. Careseekers will pay via credit card and caregivers will receive payment via direct deposit.

If you already work somewhere else, or you’re in school, alto is a great way to supplement your income. You can accept as many booking requests as you feel comfortable with. However, because we let clients take control of their care, alto cannot guarantee any hours.

It is completely free to sign up. Caregivers set their own wages and careseekers are able to filter by price range to find the right fit for them.
