Since the beginning of coronavirus pandemic, assessing the way the situation was handled, we lost our loved ones especially in care-homes whom we were supposed to be with right now. Smile Care Agency came to realise that the best place for our loved ones to be as they enjoy their lives, is in the environment they know best and feels more comfortable which is their own home.
Smile Care Agency created this platform to enable care service seekers to find suitable carers who matches the needs of their loved ones, a platform with experienced, vetted, DBS checked, right to work in the UK self-employed carers. We are expanding a highly professional workforce, providing the best level of service to people wherever they are in the UK in the comfort of their own familiar environment at affordable cheaper rates compared to traditional care agencies.
