My Care Helpers
Find and Hire Your Own Private-Duty Elder Care "Helper" for Part-Time or Short-Stay Companionship Care
View HelpersOur Mission
Finding part-time or short-term "Companionship Care", such as help around the house, engaging in conversation or light housekeeping, is not easy. Home Care Agencies can be a good option, but many focus on providing ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), such as bathing, dressing and toileting, for longer term clients. Private-duty caregivers can also help, but most can only be found through friends, forums or Facebook. Websites like Care.com require a monthly subscription just to message caregivers to see if they are a fit.
At My Care Helpers, families can connect and send messages, for free, to background-checked Helpers to find a good match for "Companionship Care" services. Families only pay once they select their Helper to meet or hire. My Care Helpers facilitates the initial connection then manages ongoing time tracking, invoicing and summary client reporting so the Helper and family can focus on their job.
Foster Independence. Decrease Loneliness. Maintain Flexibility.

All Helpers are employed by the family, not My Care Helpers, so families can have more control over their unique needs oftentimes at a lower cost than traditional agencies who frequently have to charge a premium for part-time or short-stay jobs.
