Questions
Is AideGuide free for aides?
Yes. Joining is free and always will be. We never charge you to find work.
How do the cases reach me?
By text message. When an agency near you has a case that fits your area, shifts and language, we text you the details and how to reach the agency.
Do I need a certificate?
HHA, PCA and CNA cases need a New York certificate. Companion work (company, meals, errands) does not, so you can work while you train.
Which areas do you cover?
All five New York City boroughs, plus Nassau and Suffolk on Long Island.
Will you ask for my Social Security number?
No. AideGuide never asks for your date of birth, Social Security number or ID. The agency that hires you asks for those on its own forms.
How does the $25 for a friend work?
After you join, you get your own link. When a friend joins with your link and works their first 40 hours through an AideGuide agency, we send you $25.
