CERTIFIED COMPANIONSHIP · SEGG · VALENCIA
A trusted companion and driver,
for people who shouldn't
have to travel alone.
For sons and daughters who can't be there every time: we accompany your family member to appointments, shopping and errands, wait with them, and let you know by WhatsApp when they're home. Always the same trusted professional.
WHAT IS HIJO DE ALQUILER?
Peace of mind for the family, real companionship for them.
We're not a taxi, and not just another carer. We pick your family member up at home, stay with them through the whole activity — inside the appointment, in the shop, at the event — and bring them home again. Always the same trusted person, no shift changes, with WhatsApp updates at every step so you can relax wherever you are.
We also accompany people recovering from surgery, with temporarily reduced mobility, or anyone who needs a trustworthy companion.
TRAINING GUARANTEE
Certified by the SEGG, the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology.
Not just anyone should accompany your family member. Hugo holds the SEGG certification, Spain's leading body for the care and support of older adults — specific training in communication, safety and basic first aid, not just a driving licence.
ABOUT ME
You're not hiring a company. You're getting to know me.
I founded Hijo de Alquiler because I know all too well the worry of having someone you love far away: my mother and mother-in-law are both older and live far from me, and I feel first-hand the need for someone reliable when you can't be there yourself.
“My goal is to give every family the peace of mind I myself would want if someone were looking after my own mother.”
