Sophie Patel
4th-year Medical Student
I love how easy it is to fit around my studies. I usually take one or two night shifts a week, and the app makes managing everything — from communication to payment — super smooth.
James Holloway
4st-year Nurse student
The flexibility is a game-changer. No obligation. I accept shifts when I can, and always feel supported by the team. Plus, the elderly people I meet are genuinely lovely.
Aisha Clarke
2nd-year Physiotherapy Student
I was looking for a way to earn money that didn’t involve bar work or tutoring. Owla Care gives me purpose. You feel like you're making a difference, and the process is brilliantly intuitive.
Callum Fraser
5th-year Medical Student
This is more than a job: it’s real human connection. You’re trained, trusted, and appreciated. And being able to set my own hourly rate makes it worthwhile financially, too.
Ben Ahmed
5th-year Paramedic Science Student
Owla Care helped me build confidence with elderly care. I’ve had meaningful conversations and quiet nights where just being present mattered. The app handles everything — I just show up and care.
Emily Rowe
3rd-year Occupational Therapy Student
From my first shift, I felt prepared and safe. I love the simplicity of the platform, and the fact that I can message families beforehand makes things so much more personal.
Chloe Marika
2nd-year Physiotherapy student
I was nervous at first, but Owla Care guided me through. Now it’s my favourite way to earn extra money.
Jeremy Short
3rd-year medical student
As a med student, night shifts with Owla Care helped me both financially and emotionally. You feel useful — and safe.
Lara Applefell
4th-year nursing student
It’s flexible, rewarding, and meaningful. I’ve built connections with families and elderly people who genuinely appreciate the help.
