How it works
There are firstly 2 questions that you need to be able to answer before you start to look for someone to help you
What date, time of day and for how long do I need someone to be with the person I care for?
Please remember that today, tomorrow, or even this week is too short notice to make these arrangements. If you have an urgent medical appointment (and the person you are caring for lives in Birmingham), please contact the Carers Emergency Response Service on 0121 442 2960.
If you don’t live with the person that you are caring for, what address will they be at?
Currently this is a service for people who are being cared for in Birmingham.

How can you benefit
Each time you book a sitter some of the money you pay goes to helping maintain this service register. Also, each time you leave feedback and tell your friends, it gives them the confidence to give it a go for themselves.
Each time that happens, a carer is getting a break – and we all know how important that is!
So you see, we really can’t do it without you.
