What is Papa?

Papa is a service that connects caring individuals with older adults and families who are seeking non‑medical support with everyday tasks and companionship.

Papa Pals choose when and whether to accept visits, while providing support that truly improves people’s lives.

This opportunity is ideal for anyone seeking part‑time engagement with control over their schedule — whether you’re balancing another job, school, caregiving, or personal commitments. No professional caregiving experience is required — just a passion for helping others.

Visits can include:

• Transportation: Provide rides to local destinations.
• Non‑Medical Companionship: Engage in conversation, go for walks, play games, or simply spend quality time together.
• In‑Home Support: Offer light non‑medical assistance with daily tasks such as tidying up, laundry, meal prep, and other light tasks.
• Errands: Accompany individuals on grocery runs, store pick‑ups, and similar outings.

Why you should become a Papa Pal:

• Pay: Earn up to $22/hr* based on visit type and location (typical earnings range from $13–$17/hr with opportunities for bonuses)
• Flexibility: Choose which visits to accept and work when it fits your life
• Purpose: Start the year strong by making a lasting difference in someone’s life

Requirements:

• 21 years of age or older
• Valid U.S. driver’s license
• Must complete a background check
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S.
• Access to a reliable vehicle (model year 2009 or newer), with active auto insurance meeting platform requirements

Join Papa’s network of compassionate individuals and start creating meaningful connections with older adults and families in your area today!

*Subject to availability and eligibility; actual earnings vary depending on the visit type and location.

Papa Pals are engaged as independent contractors, who chose when and whether to accept visits, not employees of Papa, Inc.
