Trina Helps People in the Vancouver BC Area

Appointment Companion & Help for Seniors in Vancouver

Same caregiver every time (Trina) – no rotation like an agency. Personable and consistent.

Every senior deserves attentive, reliable support that makes daily living feel manageable and comfortable – and that’s exactly what I’m here to provide as an elderly caregiver. 

As part of the private care I provide to seniors, I bring formal training through Vancouver Community College as a Supportive Care Assistant (non-clinical), ensuring safe, dependable, and personalized human-centered support.

Need someone to go to an appointment with you - or a helping hand and some friendly company?

Whether you need support for an appointment or an extra hand from time to time, I’m here to help you or your loved one feel comfortable, confident, independent, and supported - at home or in a retirement residence.

FAQ

My ideal senior client lives at home or in a retirement / assisted living community.

They are able to move around independently (with or without mobility devices), and would benefit from companionship and reliable help with everyday tasks, tidying, meal prep, errands, appointments & other household support.

***This is non-medical home care. I do not provide lifting, transfers, medical or nursing care.

 

Yes – it’s always me. One of the biggest benefits of Miss Happy Helper is the comfort and consistency of working with the same person every time.

Yes. If I ever notice something unusual or concerning during a visit, I’ll let you know right away. I stay mindful of any changes in mood, mobility, or general well-being, and I’ll reach out if something needs your attention.

Yes. I require a 3-hour minimum for all services. (*exceptions may be made, depending on the situation and location – just ask!)

Surgery escort and medical appointment services are priced according to individual needs.

Yes… I support all ages with recovery after eye surgeries, orthopedic procedures, cosmetic surgeries, dental extractions, and other outpatient procedures – helping you get home, get settled, and stay comfortable.

I accompany clients to appointments and outings, plus act as their  pickup person… but I don’t take clients in my personal vehicle due to insurance liability restrictions.

Transportation is arranged through an Uber.

Uber is also more convenient as it avoids the need to search for parking or pay high rates at the hospital for surgical clinics. The door-to-door service also means I will never get separated from a client having to wait for me to park or retrieve my car. This is especially important if the client has been sedated.

 

Yes – for safety, I do require a quick photo of ID when booking in-home services. This simply confirms who I’ll be meeting and ensures all booking details are accurate.

If you’re arranging services for your parent, I will require your ID as the booking contact.

Absolutely. I maintain an up-to-date Criminal Record Check (vulnerable sector), Intermediate First Aid/CPR Certification, and FoodSafe Level One training to ensure safety and professionalism at all times.
