Their award-winning tropical environment and shiver-free pools are simply the fun backdrop for where kids do some serious growing and learning. So while they’re focused on the serious stuff, your family will be focused on the fun.

Macaroni KID publisher, Aryn Nichols also works as a Papa Pal to bring in extra income, but quickly found it was more than a side job!

"I was the main caregiver for my dad before he passed away, and I know how important it is to retain independence as we grow older but still have the assistance we need. I love that you pick the jobs that work for your schedule. If your kids have a day off school, you can choose not to take Papa jobs that day. It's the perfect flexibility for a parent."

The number of hours you work depends on your personal goals and how many Papa members live in your community and need help. Find out more information about becoming a Papa Pal here!

Macaroni KID publisher, Brigette Schroeder also works as a Papa Pal to bring in extra income, but quickly found it was more than a side job!

"Being a Papa Pal has provided me with a way to give back when I am able, and also earn some extra income. It feels good to be able to offer a little extra help or companionship to someone in need, and great joy to know I am maybe helping a family, just like ours, who isn't able to be there for their loved one because of distance or time constraints."

The process of becoming a Papa Pal is quite easy. No healthcare experience is required! Learn more about becoming a Papa Pal here!
