We'd love to help

Reliable and compassionate caregivers for seniors

Caregivers you can count on

Finding the help that you need, when you need it, can be a challenge. At Manana, search hundreds of Helpers with a variety of skills and schedules – you don’t need to create a Manana account upfront to browse our Helpers by services and availability. Whether you need help getting ready in the morning, assistance with cleaning or yard work, or someone to keep you company, we are here to make you feel right at home. Not sure what you’re looking for? A member of our care team can assist you in finding a Helper who is a great fit.

“Accepting help from others isn’t always easy. Understand that many people want to help, and it makes them feel good to contribute.” 

– National Institute on Aging

Do’s and Don'ts of finding a Helper

Five things to think about when selecting a Helper:

  • Don’t think any task is too big or too small. Do consider the variety of tasks that you’d like help with and ask for the support you need.
  • Don’t fear that getting help is too expensive. Do understand your financial reality and choose a Helper that fits your budget.
  • Don’t be shy about background checks or interviews. Do take comfort in the fact that all Manana Helpers are carefully vetted ahead of time.
  • Don’t feel like you need to make the decision alone. Do loop in family or friends as needed for interviews or to make sure you feel comfortable with the Helper you’ve selected.
  • Don’t be paralyzed by indecision. Do acknowledge that most older adults will need help to some extent and embrace the process of building a support system that includes family, friends, and caregivers that fit your needs.

Manana Helpers are ready to provide the care you need

All Manana Helpers have been carefully vetted for your peace of mind. When you use Manana, you can hire one Helper to help you across all of your needs, or you can choose different Helpers for different tasks. 

Here’s a bit more about our Helper onboarding:

  • It all begins with a rigorous interview process, including national background checks and in person interviews. 
  • A part of our process includes empathy screening to ensure caregivers possess compassion and understanding.
  • Each helper offers a variety of skills to deliver high-quality care tailored to seniors’ needs.
  • Our system provides a caregiver-client compatibility matching for strong bonds and personalized care.
  • We focus on Interactive Caregiving to keep clients engaged and active.
  • Our Helpers are contractors, which gives them the freedom to be their own boss and develop 1:1 relationships with their clients.

Helpful Tip

Manana Helper background checks are processed by Checkr, a third-party background check provider. Manana requires this in order to keep customers safe and we will routinely perform background checks on active Helpers. Additional screenings may include motor vehicle reports, employment verifications, or federal, state and country criminal checks.

I’m Kennedy, nice to meet you.

Through her role as a Manana helper she has seen the fruits of her labor first hand. Her work as a helper has allowed many people to gain their independence back and has impacted many lives. 

Hi, My name is Lexi!

Student at Belmont University in the Doctorate of Occupational Therapy Program

Lexi has a passion for caring for older adults and has previously worked in home healthcare. For the last two years she cared for adults with disabilities. She loves the flexibility that Manana offers because she’s able to find jobs that both work for her schedule and she feels drawn to based on the type of care needed.

Helpful Tip

When booking, you will have access to the Helper’s bio and reviews. You can message or request a phone call with any Helper to ensure you are completely comfortable before the initial booking.

Helpful Tip

If you don’t feel comfortable with your Helper, want help with something else, or simply want to try a new Helper, you can request a new Helper next time. If your Helper doesn’t meet expectations for any reason, please contact us immediately, and we’ll help you resolve your concern or find someone new.
