How Whimble Works
-
Client Requests Care
Whether it's a one-time need or a recurring service, clients can easily request care through our platform, specifying their unique needs and preferences.
-
Whimble Matches Client With Attendant
Using our platform, we match the client with a qualified, vetted personal care attendant based on location, availability, required skills, and client’s preferences.
-
Attendant Provides Client Care
The assigned attendant delivers personalized care to the client, ensuring their needs are met professionally and with compassion — and hopefully a bit of fun!
-
Client Provides Feedback to Whimble
After care is provided, clients and attendants give feedback to Whimble, helping us continuously improve our services and ensure user satisfaction.
We believe clients belong in the driver’s seat when it comes to their own care.
