Job descriptionPosted by: Noval Bloom Inc. Location: Hamilton, Burlington, Vaughan, Toronto, and surrounding areas Compensation: $25–$30 /hour (based on experience) Schedule: Flexible hours – daytime, evening, overnight, and weekend availability preferred About the company: Noval Care, part of Noval Bloom Inc., offers emotional, non-clinical companion support to individuals navigating recovery from childbirth, grief, or health challenges. Our companions provide a gentle, caring presence, someone to talk to, sit with, or simply share quiet space with. Whether in-person or virtual, this role is rooted in empathy, dignity, and heartfelt connection. We believe no one should go through recovery alone. Our team is made up of listeners, reassurers, nurturers, and compassionate companions who walk alongside clients during life’s most vulnerable moments. Because care doesn’t end at hospital discharge, it begins at home. Position Overview: Noval Bloom Inc. is seeking emotionally present and nurturing individuals, particularly experienced nannies and childcare providers, interested in providing non-clinical companion support in client homes. This is not a medical or personal care role; it’s about offering emotional presence, light practical support, and a sense of calm during deeply transitional life periods like postpartum recovery, grief, or illness. Rather than direct childcare, you’ll be supporting mothers and families by holding space, lending a hand, and helping them feel seen, supported, and cared for in the comfort of their own homes. This role is ideal for those who understand the emotional weight of early parenthood or healing and want to walk alongside families during their most vulnerable moments, with empathy, gentleness, and warmth. What You’ll Do: - Offer a calm, compassionate in-person or virtual presence during booked sessions - Engage in active listening and hold space for clients without judgment - Support emotional well-being by offering reassurance, friendly conversation, and encouragement - Assist with light practical tasks (e.g., bottle prep, light snack setup) - Sitting with or entertaining infants or toddlers while the client showers, rests, or eats, etc. - Respect family and cultural values, adapting to each client's emotional tone and environment - Observe and gently report any concerning emotional changes to the Noval Bloom Care Coordinator - Provide companionship without pushing advice or offering medical, therapeutic, or parenting directives - Ensure client confidentiality and uphold Noval Bloom's code of conduct and ethics - Arrive on time, maintain a professional and respectful appearance, and follow safety and hygiene protocols - Optionally participate in virtual sessions where clients may wish to simply talk, vent, or feel less alone Who Are You: You’re someone who deeply values presence over productivity, empathy over expertise, and support over solutions. Whether you're a stay-at-home parent, retired teacher, social work student, doula-in-training, or simply someone with a gift for holding space. If you want to make a real difference in someone’s life by showing up fully and being human, this role is for you. Requirements: - A warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded personality - Excellent communication and listening skills - Ability to remain emotionally present without trying to “fix” or give advice - Comfortable working in client homes and respecting boundaries - Flexibility in scheduling - A reliable mode of transportation for in-person visits - Willingness to wear neutral/dark solid-coloured clothing and follow scent-free policies - Must be 18 with a valid ID - Experience with postpartum families, grief support, child development, or caregiving is an asset, but not required - Must complete the Noval Bloom Companion Onboarding & Training before service - Clear Vulnerable Sector Check (or willing to obtain one) - Cell phone with Data Why Join Noval Bloom: - Be part of a growing mission-led company rooted in lived experience and community care - Flexible scheduling and meaningful work - Training and onboarding provided - Opportunities to grow with us as we expand across Ontario To Apply: We’d love to hear from you.
