A private companion for your elderly parent in Lagos
Identity-checked companions who spend real time with your relative — at home, on a walk, at church, at the clinic. You agree the price up front, the fee is held in escrow, and every visit is written up so you can read what happened, wherever you are.
Identity checked before the first visit
Every companion submits a government ID and profile photo for review. You see the verification badge on the profile before you book, and the same record stays attached to the visit.
Payment held in escrow
The fee stays in the platform until you confirm the visit happened as agreed. Nothing is released to the companion up front.
A written record of every visit
Each visit is logged with arrival and departure times, notes on how your relative was, and any errands completed, so family abroad can follow along.
What a companionship visit includes
- Company at home — conversation, reading, board games, or simply being there
- A short walk, garden time or a trip to church, the market or the clinic
- Simple meal preparation and help with eating and drinking
- Medication reminders from the schedule your family writes out
- Errands: picking up prescriptions, paying a bill, buying provisions
- A written note after each visit on mood, appetite and anything that changed
A companion supports daily living. For medical care — wound care, injections, medication administration — request a licensed health professional instead, and the platform will match one whose credentials cover it.
How booking a companion works
Describe your relative
Tell us where they live, how many hours a week you want, and anything the companion needs to know — mobility, memory, language, what soothes them.
Meet the companion
You see the profile, verification badge, experience and price before booking. Ask questions first if you want; there is no charge for asking.
Book, then confirm the visit
The fee is held in escrow, the visit happens, and you release payment only once you have read the notes and confirmed it went as agreed.

Who the companions are
Companions on RogueWorker are independent professionals who applied to the platform, submitted identity documents, and were reviewed before appearing in search. Many have worked as carers, teachers, church volunteers or retired civil servants — people used to keeping an older person's day gentle and predictable.
You see their years of experience, languages spoken, hourly rate and the areas they cover before you commit to anything.
Questions families ask before booking a companion
What does a private companion for an elderly person actually do?
+
A companion keeps your relative company and helps with the ordinary parts of the day: conversation, a short walk, preparing a simple meal, reminders to take medication, accompanying them to church, the clinic or the market, and letting family know how the visit went. A companion is not a nurse and does not carry out clinical procedures.
How is a companion different from a home care nurse?
+
A nurse handles medical care: wound dressing, injections, catheter and medication management. A companion handles company and daily living support. If your relative needs clinical care, say so when you request and we match a professional whose credentials cover it.
Can the same companion come every week?
+
Yes. Where you ask for a recurring schedule, the platform keeps the same companion attached to the booking so your relative is not meeting a stranger each time. If that companion is unavailable, you are told before the visit rather than after.
How do I know what happened during the visit?
+
The visit is logged in your account with the arrival and departure time, the companion’s notes, and any tasks completed. You can read it from anywhere, which most families use to keep relatives abroad informed.
When is the companion paid?
+
Only after you confirm the visit took place as agreed. Your payment is held in escrow from the moment you book, and released when you sign the visit off. If something is wrong, you can raise it before releasing the funds.
Which parts of Lagos do you cover?
+
Lekki, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Ikeja, Gbagada, Surulere, Yaba and Festac are covered by companions already on the platform. Outside those areas, post the request and we will tell you whether a companion is available nearby.
Start with one visit
Most families begin with a single afternoon and decide from there. Post what your relative needs and see who is available nearby this week.
