Chosen by PrimeCarers from carers’ profiles and client reviews  ·  Updated October 2026

How these carers were chosen

Of the 50 carers near Harrow with a photo on their profile, 43 have a studio portrait, an hourly rate and a profile full enough to quote. The six below are the strongest of them on three measures.

  1. 1

    What clients said

    Rating and number of reviews come first. Reviews come from clients who booked through PrimeCarers, screened before they appear and never edited; references carers have added from past clients are not verified.

  2. 2

    Their record with us

    How reliably they have worked through PrimeCarers, how long they have been caring, and how many hours of care they have given.

  3. 3

    A profile worth reading

    A clear portrait and enough written about their work to judge them by. The words under each name are the carer’s, and we have only shortened them.

In Rose’s words

“I am a reliable and compassionate live-in carer with hands-on experience delivering high-quality, person-centred support that promotes independence, dignity, and wellbeing. I am confident in assisting with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support, and providing consistent companionship tailored to each individual’s needs and routines.”

We still (over two years later) see Rose as part of our extended family and invite her to our celebrations. Anyone lucky enough to have the opportunity to employ her is making a very wise decision, if they do so.

In Angela’s words

“Care giver with five years of experience working with private client. Passionate about elder care. Charismatic, caring and calm. Able to provide both physical and emotional support to clients. Culturally sensitive. Willing to transport clients to appointments and events. I enjoy taking care of elder family members that made me go into the care job and would like to help others in this way.”

Angela has been a godsend for our 96yr old mum. She is honest, kind, thoughtful and is a good time keeper in spite of having a busy life herself. Mum always looked forward to her visits and her company when she cooked mum's evening meal. Since mum has been in hospital the last couple of weeks, Angela has frequently texted to see how things are.

In Husneara’s words

“I enjoy a good long walk when I get the chance, and I like trying out new recipes in the kitchen too. Cooking has always been a way for me to relax, and I often bring that same care into the homes of the people I support across London. I have worked in hourly and visiting care for 14 years now. I have supported people with dementia, stroke, heart disease, cancer and those nearing the end of life, along with mobility needs and conditions like COPD.”

She was very kind and loving and he adored her. Even when the dementia got very very bad she had a lot of patience. I would definitely recommend her for care.

In Irina’s words

“My working week is built around hourly visits and overnight stays, and it is the quieter moments I value most: sitting with someone over a proper meal, or simply being there through the night so a family can rest easy.”

Irina is an absolutely outstanding carer. She looks after my dad like he is her own and their genuine connection is so wonderful to see. She is highly proactive, takes direction perfectly and constantly goes above and beyond expectations. Beyond her professional intuitive she has a truly, lovely, warm personality and we could not ask for better support.

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Harrow

The carers above have the strongest records near Harrow, but the right one for your family depends on the visits you need, so start from those.

  1. 1

    Write down the visits you need

    Half an hour
    What time of day, how long each visit, and what has to happen in it: getting up and washed, tablets, a meal, a walk to the shops. Add anything that has gone wrong before. This becomes your first message to every carer.
  2. 2

    Shortlist two or three carers near Harrow

    Free
    For visits, a short journey matters, because the early and late calls are the ones a long drive puts at risk. Look at where each carer is based, then read their reviews for specific things they did.
  3. 3

    Talk to each one

    This week
    A video call or a visit of twenty minutes is enough. Use the questions below, and let your relative meet them if they can, because how the two of them get on matters as much as experience.
  4. 4

    Start with a trial fortnight

    Weeks 1 and 2
    Agree the visit times, the rate and how you will hear from the carer after each visit. The booking, the agreement between you and the carer, and payments are all set up on PrimeCarers.

What they charge

What the best home carers in Harrow charge

Each carer sets their own rate. The carers profiled above charge £19.50 to £25 an hour with our fee included, a little above the typical £21 for Harrow.

Hourly rates for visits in HarrowOur fee included
  1. The carers on this page6 carers£19.50 to £25
  2. Carers across HarrowThe middle half of rates£19 to £23
  3. A home care agencyTypical charge for a visit£28 to £35

From carers' own profiles, October 2026. Agency figures are the range we quote across the site.

A visit is charged by the hour, and most families start with one or two visits a day. The cost of home care in Harrow works through what a week comes to, and funding care covers the help available from the council and the NHS.

What we check

What every carer on this page has passed, and what is yours to check

PrimeCarers is an introductory service. We check their identity, right to work and enhanced DBS, and they record an online interview; whether they are right for your relative is your decision, and the profiles above are there to help you make it.

Enhanced DBS, renewed every 2 years

Checked before a carer appears: an enhanced DBS (or PVG in Scotland, Access NI in Northern Ireland) issued within the last 2 years, and it has to be renewed every 2 years while they work through PrimeCarers.

Identity and right to work

Photo identity verified, and the right to work in the UK checked, before the profile goes live.

An online interview

A recorded online interview, answered in the carer’s own time, about their experience and how they approach care. It is not a test of skills or a guarantee of suitability.

What we do not verify

Training certificates, qualifications and references. Carers can list these on their profile; ask about them when you talk, and ask to see anything that matters to your relative’s care.

How we check carers sets out each check in detail.

Questions

Questions families in Harrow ask about choosing a home carer

By what their clients said first, then by their record. We start from every carer who offers visits and is based within about 45 minutes of Harrow, and keep those with a studio portrait and a profile that says enough about them to be useful. They are ordered by their client rating and how many reviews they have, then by whether a client wrote a review we can quote, then by their record with PrimeCarers, their years of experience and the care they have given through us. All 6 carers profiled here have client reviews, averaging 5.0 out of 5.

Yes. Before a carer appears on PrimeCarers they have passed an enhanced DBS check, an identity check and a right-to-work check, and recorded an online interview. That DBS must have been issued within the last 2 years, and it has to be renewed every 2 years. Their skills, qualifications and training are for you to check with them. How we check carers sets out each step.

Yes, and it is worth doing. Message the carers you like through PrimeCarers with the visits you need and anything that has been difficult, then arrange a video call or a visit. Talking to a carer is free and nothing is booked until you say so. Most families speak to two or three carers before choosing.

The carers profiled on this page charge £19.50 to £25 an hour, with our fee included. Across Harrow carers charge £19 to £23 an hour, typically £21. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Harrow works through what a week of visits comes to.

All 12 carers on this page list dementia on their profile. A tick on a profile is the carer's own description, so ask each one about the people with dementia they have cared for and what they found hardest. Dementia care at home covers what good support looks like at each stage.

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Chinese (Cantonese), Gujarati, Hindi, Kikuyu, Romanian, Spanish and Swahili as well as English, and the search can filter by language. For someone whose first language has come back to them with age or dementia, a carer who shares it can make visits much easier.

Then you choose another, and the same search shows who else is available. For visits, notice under the contract is 48 hours, and PrimeCarers makes no charge to stop or change carer. It helps to agree at the start that the first couple of weeks are a trial for both of you. Our team can help you find someone else in the meantime.

Some can, and their profile says so. Of the carers profiled here, 5 also offer overnight care and 2 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Harrow is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
