Everyone who came was very polite and respectful and did a good job.

This is touch and go for us workers w/ Papa. I started in Feb 2023 right before the mileage to/from was removed. Even w/ a $2/hr hourly increase, this really cut back on income since most of listed clients are 25-60 miles away. I love most experiences with my pals and find joy in helping them. Beware of those who need a Molly-maid full house cleaning! Papapals are not maids or slaves, lol. There are some issues w/ the app where you can't always get it to work correctly starting/ending visits etc. Cancelling for an "other" reason doesn't let me type the reason why. Clients of Papa wish they had a calendar of their scheduled appts upcoming or a history of it online. They cannot always keep up with all the visits and the reasons. They also find sometimes changing appts gets messed up. There needs to be MUCH more phone support contacts for all. Cannot always get ahold of a PP assistant to talk with, chat works better but still there are times as a worker, I need to TALK directly w/ someone on the PP side for tech or client issues that are not part of the chat choices. BRING BACK THE MILEAGE PAY to/from the clients. Gas these days is going up and up, and car insurance etc is escalating. If you want reliable workers, take care of us. I'd stay w/ PP if we'd be fairly compensated, especially those of us who are reliable and loved by the clients. I don't need to work and when my car insurance goes up from all the driving I'm doing, I'm no longer making income at all because the insurance totally took my income w/ the increase. I'm starting to see bonuses coming up more often and that is because PP workers are not happy w/ the mileage reduction and thus, not taking quick appts like they used to. I hope the corporate office is listening.

I've worked for Papa for about a year. I love the flexibility and meeting the people. Its been great. It's disappointing lately that people are cancelling at the last minute so then I miss available appointments. I would really like to see the mileage payments come back. I'm willing to drive and take assignments further away and out in the country, but not without that. If I have to pay for gas plus wear and tear on my car, its not worth it.

I enjoyed cleaning and helping out people that really needed it. I love the look on my pals faces knowing I helped a great deal by just vacuuming or cleaning their toilet. I loved their company, our conversations. Papa Pal is pretty cool.

It’s honestly luck of the draw when it comes down to the visit because let’s be honest sometimes people can be grumpy. Those one visits where you’d love to stay longer just talk is always my favorite. You can learn so much about different things from the Papas. They can learn a lot from the Pals as well.

Super awesome laid back kind of jobs with really cool stories from the older generation

I can make my own schedule..

Recently new papa pal. On first visit, I complied with the apps required steps, tracked to visit, start visit, and discussed visit with client when I arrived. No idea anything had transpired of a cancellation (no company contact) and client showed me what tasks they wanted done. I was there for 3 hrs, cleaning and went to end visit NO BUTTON, but completed review. Client had said since I was already there and she wasn't sure if scheduled visit had actually been cancelled since I showed up, we completed the visit. Brand new, I did what I read in the training. Would love to go back to this client, but almost a month later I have still not received payment for my time, mileage, or bonus. Upon checking several times, it's still in review. No warm and fuzzy on this one. Thank God all other visits have been the best experiences. Just waiting.
