You shouldn't have to figure this out alone

Maybe you've noticed your mom needs a little more help around the house. Maybe your dad just got out of the hospital and you're not sure what comes next. Maybe you're exhausted from trying to manage caregivers, doctors, and your own life all at once.

Whatever brought you here, we're glad you found us. We help families like yours find good caregivers, manage the logistics, and actually feel okay about how things are going. No pressure, no judgment—just real help from people who get it.

How we can help

Every family's situation is different. Here's what we typically help with—but we're always happy to just talk things through.

Finding the Right Caregiver

We help you find, vet, and choose caregivers who are actually a good fit—not just whoever's available. You hire directly and stay in control.

Managing the Schedule

Coordinating who's coming when, handling time-off requests, making sure nothing falls through the cracks. We keep everyone on the same page.

Backup When You Need It

Caregivers call in sick. Life happens. We maintain a bench of vetted backup caregivers so you're never left scrambling.

Keeping Family in the Loop

Regular updates so everyone knows how Mom or Dad is doing—without the endless group texts and phone tag.

Why we do this

We started HappyHelp because we've been where you are. The endless research, the worry, the guilt of not knowing if you're doing enough. It's exhausting—and it doesn't have to be this hard.

We're based in Bryan-College Station, Texas, and we believe that families deserve real support—not just another app or marketplace. When you work with us, you're working with actual people who will pick up the phone and help you figure things out.
