Questions

What people usually ask

How much can I earn?

It depends on the time you give and the visits you take. See the estimate above. We confirm rates on your first call.

Do I need experience?

No. How you treat people matters most. We teach you what you need before your first visit.

Is this a full-time job?

No. You choose the visits and the days. The number of visits can change from week to week.

Am I a nurse or a caretaker?

No. A Saha does accompaniment, companionship and small errands. Medical and personal care are not part of the role.

Why are there four steps?

Families trust Thagai with their parents. Meeting every Saha first is how we keep that trust.
