In an accessible and affordable way, Helpper connects people looking for non-medical home assistance (‘helppie’) with a trusted neighbour, who is willing to help someone in need (‘helpper’).

The platform is designed for tasks outside the scope of professional care services, such as grocery shopping, doctor visits, babysitting, and small chores, as well as providing companionship. Helppers receive a modest financial compensation for their help. The platform uses profiling, algorithms, checks, and interviews to find the best matches between helppies and helppers.

“I try my best to make someone happy. Then you go home with that feeling and I can enjoy it all afternoon. Then sometimes she sends a message saying ‘thanks Martine’ and that’s nice too.”

— Assistant Martine
