Here for you
Companions are employed by KITH, not gig workers. Every one holds a clear Enhanced DBS check, two professional references, and completes our induction in safeguarding, visit standards, and the KITH code of conduct.
We match on geography, interests, language and availability — and if the fit isn't right, we rematch within 24 hours.
