home support worker
Carol · Victoria, BC · $24.65 hourly
Posted 2026-06-22 · Reviewed on 2026-07-03 · What do these ratings mean?
Verdict
The employer is a private individual ("Carol") hiring a home support worker at the employer's home, applying via a free yahoo address (healthystart4me2@yahoo.com) — an unverifiable party with no web footprint I could find. Private-household caregiver postings are a legitimate WorkBC category and there are no payment or mail-materials asks, but the combination of an unverifiable individual and a generic free email warrants medium risk.
