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."
