In-Home Care Services in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Finding someone you genuinely trust to care for a child or an aging parent is one of the hardest things a family does. In Saskatoon the options usually come down to a large national franchise that sends whoever is available, or a private individual found through a community group with no screening, no insurance and no backup plan. Neither is comfortable.
We started differently. House Cleaning Saskatoon has spent eight years being handed house keys, alarm codes and the trust of hundreds of local families. Our care division grew directly out of that: the same screening standard, the same insured and bonded structure, the same people who already know how to conduct themselves respectfully inside someone's home — now certified specifically for caring for children and seniors.
What "certified caregiver" actually means here
The phrase gets used loosely. In our case it means three specific, current, verifiable credentials held by every caregiver we send:
- CPR certification — including infant and child CPR technique for anyone assigned to babysitting
- Standard First Aid — a full recognized course, not a one-hour online module
- Food Safe training — formal food handling certification, which matters more than families expect when someone is preparing meals for a toddler or an immunocompromised senior
On top of the certifications, every caregiver completes a Criminal Record Check including the Vulnerable Sector Check. This is the screening level required for anyone working unsupervised with children or dependent adults, and we do not book a caregiver until it clears.
Ask any agency this question: "Can I see the caregiver's current certificates and their Vulnerable Sector check before the first visit?" A serious provider says yes immediately. We do.
Babysitting in Saskatoon
Our babysitting service covers the ordinary and the awkward: a Friday date night, a stretch of shift work at the hospital, a school professional development day, a sick day when you genuinely cannot miss work, or a standing weekly afternoon so a parent can get to appointments. Sitters handle meals, play, homework, bath and bedtime routines, and they tidy the kitchen and the toys before they leave — a habit that comes straight from the cleaning side of the business.
Senior and elder care in Saskatoon
Our senior care service is deliberately non-medical. That distinction is important and we are direct about it: we provide companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, grocery runs, appointment transportation, medication reminders, and safety supervision. We do not administer medication, provide wound care, assist with injections, or perform any task that belongs to a licensed nurse or personal care aide working under clinical supervision.
For a great many Saskatoon families that is precisely the gap that needs filling. A parent is still independent, still sharp, still in their own home — but shouldn't be carrying laundry down basement stairs, hasn't eaten a proper hot meal in days, and is going quiet from loneliness. Home Care through the Saskatchewan Health Authority covers clinical needs; it does not cover the company, the cooking and the errands. That is where we fit.
Respite care for family caregivers
If you are the adult child doing everything, respite care is not a luxury and it is not a failure. A regular block — one afternoon a week, or a weekend once a month — where a screened, insured caregiver takes over is what keeps family caregiving sustainable over years rather than months. Many of our senior-care clients started with exactly one four-hour respite visit.
Areas we serve
Care services are available across Saskatoon and the surrounding communities, including Stonebridge, Nutana, Willowgrove, Evergreen, Brighton, Lawson Heights, Silverwood Heights, Sutherland, Hampton Village, Arbor Creek and Lakewood, plus Warman and Martensville. See the full service area map.
Combining care with cleaning
Many families book both. A caregiver spends the afternoon with a parent while our cleaning team handles the house on the same visit, or a weekly sitter arrives on the same day as the recurring clean. One company, one invoice, one set of people you have already vetted. Ask about the combined rate when you call.
