Thousands of warm, caring people are earning income and building meaningful connections as WSC companions. Could this be the right opportunity for you?

Becoming a companion with Want Some Company is one of the most rewarding ways to earn flexible income while making a genuine difference in people's lives. Here's everything you need to know to decide if it's right for you.

What Does a Companion Actually Do?

Companions spend time with clients — sharing meals, attending events, going on outings, providing conversation and warmth. The work is social, not clinical. You don't need to provide personal care, medical support, or counselling.

What you do need is:

Genuine warmth and interest in people

Reliability and professionalism

The ability to adapt to different personalities and preferences

A commitment to maintaining clear professional boundaries

Who Becomes a Companion?

Our community of companions is remarkably diverse:

Retired professionals who want to stay socially active and earn supplementary income

Students looking for flexible, meaningful part-time work

Healthcare workers who want work that's less physically demanding

Anyone who is sociable, caring, and looking for purposeful work

The one thing every successful companion has in common: they genuinely enjoy people.

The Application Process

**Create your profile** — including photos, a bio, your interests, and availability

**Identity verification** — we verify your identity through our secure verification system

**Background check** — a national police check is required for all companions

**Profile review** — our team reviews every profile before it goes live

**Training** (optional but recommended) — we offer guidance on professional conduct, boundary-setting, and client communication

How Much Can You Earn?

Companions set their own rates. Most companions on the platform charge between $50 and $150 per hour, depending on the activity, their experience, and local market rates. You keep the majority of what you earn.

Many companions work part-time, 5–15 hours per week. At the higher end of rates, that's a meaningful supplementary income.

Setting Boundaries

Professional boundary-setting is something we take seriously and train companions on. Clear, consistent boundaries are what make platonic companionship work — for everyone.

Clients understand and agree to these boundaries when they join the platform. If a client ever behaves inappropriately, companions have immediate support and recourse through our team.

Is This Right for You?

Ask yourself:

Do you genuinely enjoy spending time with new people?

Are you reliable and able to commit to scheduled appointments?

Are you comfortable setting and maintaining professional limits?

Do you want work that's flexible and meaningful?

If the answers are yes, we'd love to have you in our community.
