Flexible family care

We’re not another digital-only solution—we’re care and companionship at your front door with a unique kind of employee health, well-being, and wellness program. Our Papa Pals help lighten the second (or third) shift load, improving work/life balance, reducing stress, and fostering well-being for employees, children, and parents.

Give back time

Whether it’s groceries, light house work, or taking Fido for a walk, our Papa Pals put time back in your employees’ day.

Support working parents

Our Papa Pals love to play, but they also help with homework, snacks, meals, and more while Mom or Dad works from home.

Care for aging parents

Employees can’t be everywhere at once. So, we provide peace of mind with companionship and non-medical care for loved ones.

Create space for recovery

We all get injured or sick occasionally. Papa Pals ease the load and remove barriers to healthy healing.

Support DEIB initiatives

Our Papa Pals are diverse, just like your employees. We support families with different backgrounds, structures, and languages.

How it works

Our Papa Pals make thousands of new friends, young and not-so-young, across the country every day. They provide companionship, encouragement, and assistance when, where, and how your people need it. And it all starts with a “hello.”

  1. Employees enroll online.

    We work with you to introduce the new benefit, educate employees, and drive enrollment. We offer co-branded materials to integrate into your communications and encourage adoption.

  2. Visits are scheduled with Papa Pals.

    Employees use the Papa Care app to request in-person or telephonic visits. Papa Pals browse visits on our platform and select the best fit, whether it’s a playdate, assistance with personal tasks, or a visit with grandma.

  3. Employee feedback and data drive ongoing improvements.

    We gather information every visit to ensure your employees are engaged, satisfied, and getting the help (+ results) they need. Our vetted and caring Papa Pals make an impact you’ll feel organization-wide.
