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

How these carers were chosen

Of the 23 carers near Peterborough with a photo on their profile, 20 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.

Six carers, best first

In Janepher’s words

“One client I supported as a live-in carer felt anxious and lonely, especially at night. I spent extra time reassuring her, listening, and building a calm bedtime routine until she felt safe again. That is the kind of care I try to bring to every client, in the City of Peterborough, offering hourly, live-in and overnight support.”

Janepher was perfect. She did everything asked of her and more. Very caring, kept the house clean and had some good ideas. Client very happy. I honestly feel lucky to have found her and have already booked her for another visit.

Overnight care and live-in care
In Matthew’s words

“Before care work, I spent three or four years on ambulances, learning to stay calm when things moved fast. That steadiness has stayed with me. I've since spent six years in care homes, agencies and people's own homes across Peterborough, often supporting between four and eight people in a day, which taught me to adapt quickly to different needs and personalities.”

“Families often tell me I feel more like a familiar face than a visiting carer, someone who remembers what matters to them and just gets on with things quietly and properly. I have been offering hourly care around Peterborough for 17 years now, and in that time I have supported people with all sorts of needs, from dementia and stroke recovery to Parkinson's, arthritis and end of life care.”

“Over the past twenty years, care has simply become who I am. I'm based in Huntingdon and offer hourly visiting care and overnight support, and in that time I have supported people through a huge range of conditions, from dementia and Parkinson's to stroke recovery and end of life care. That breadth means I rarely feel out of my depth, whatever a family brings to me. What I enjoy most is the company itself.”

“Cooking and baking are more than hobbies for me. I love the way a shared meal can turn into a proper conversation, and that idea sits at the heart of how I care for people. I offer hourly, live-in and overnight care across the City of Peterborough, and companionship is always where I put my energy first. I once looked after a client who had been isolated for a long time and felt very lonely.”

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Peterborough

The carers above have the strongest records near Peterborough, 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 Peterborough

    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 Peterborough charge

Each carer sets their own rate. The carers profiled above charge £18.80 to £23.10 an hour with our fee included, close to the typical £20 for Peterborough.

Hourly rates for visits in PeterboroughOur fee included
  1. The carers on this page6 carers£18.80 to £23.10
  2. Carers across PeterboroughThe middle half of rates£19 to £21
  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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough, 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. 2 of the 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 £18.80 to £23.10 an hour, with our fee included. Across Peterborough carers charge £19 to £21 an hour, typically £20. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Peterborough 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 Afrikaans, Akan, Swahili, Swedish and Turkish 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, 4 also offer overnight care and 3 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Peterborough is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
