Beacompanion was built from Aimee Chada’s real experience in gerontology, retirement living and one-to-one companionship.

Wherever you’re starting, you don’t have to build the business side alone.

“A family has asked me to work privately”

Beacompanion gives you an agreement, a schedule and invoices, so your first private arrangement looks professional from day one.

“I want to start a companion business”

You get a guided setup for your services, rates and public page — plus a fictional client to practise on before anyone real depends on you.

“I already have clients and need a better system”

Clients, visits, notes, mileage and invoicing live in one place, so nothing gets tracked in a notebook or lost in text messages.

The companionship is the meaningful part. Running the business shouldn’t be the overwhelming part.

The hardest part isn’t the companionship — it’s keeping everything straight. Client details, invoices, notes and schedules end up scattered across spreadsheets, texts, emails and notes. Beacompanion brings it all into one place, so you always know what comes next.

  • What to send a family so you look established and prepared
  • A written agreement that sets clear expectations and boundaries
  • A schedule and visit notes you can keep up with between visits
  • Your rates, services and business details set up once, with templates already written for you
  • Invoices that go out on time, without rebuilding them each month

Everything from first inquiry to invoice.

Look professional and get found

A public business page you can share with any family who asks. Once your listing is approved, it can appear where families search — no guaranteed leads, just a credible place to point people.

Stay organized

Clients, schedules, visits and notes in one place, so you always know who you are seeing and what happened last time.

Give families peace of mind

Visit notes you can email to the family contacts you choose, plus intake details and reminders that keep everyone working from the same information.

Get paid professionally

Invoices, mileage and expenses built in. Beacompanion never takes a cut of what you invoice.

Aimee Chada, founder of Beacompanion

Built from real experience with seniors.

Aimee Chada’s work has included gerontology, retirement-home recreation and one-to-one senior companionship. Beacompanion grew from a simple belief: people who are good at the human side of this work deserve a clear, professional way to build the business side.

Questions companions ask first.

Do I need to be a PSW or CNA?
No. Non-medical companionship — conversation, outings, errands, activities and presence — does not require a healthcare credential to use Beacompanion. If you plan to offer anything beyond non-medical companionship, check the rules where you live.
What does a senior companion do?
Visits, conversation, shared activities, outings, errands, light help around the home and steady contact with family. It is social and practical support, not personal or medical care.
Do I need a client before I start?
No. You can set up your services, build your page and practise the whole client journey with a fictional test client before anyone real is involved.
Does Beacompanion guarantee clients?
No. Beacompanion does not guarantee clients. You get a professional page you can share, and approved profiles may appear where families search.
How much does Beacompanion cost?
Setting up and practising with one fictional test client is free with no credit card. When you add or accept your first real client you add a payment method and start 60 days free — the first 100 Founding Companions get 90 days free. After that it is $19 USD per active real client each month. Paused, archived and practice clients cost nothing.

Be ready when the right client comes along.
