About Helperly

We're on a mission to transform how people find and provide in-home support services.

My Story

Helperly was created out of both professional experience and personal connection.

As a young woman balancing university and work, I started my journey as a Personal Support Worker (PSW). It was the perfect fit for my busy and ever-changing schedule—and more importantly, it opened my eyes to the incredible impact that in-home support services have on people's lives.

Working with adults with physical disabilities in their homes, I saw firsthand how access to compassionate, reliable care transformed lives. It wasn’t just about assistance—it was about opening up worlds, restoring freedom, and giving people back the independence they deserved.

That understanding deepened even more when I met my partner, who lives with a disability and relies on PSWs every day. Without the dedication and support of his caregivers, he would not have been able to pursue his education, build his career, or live the full, independent life we now share together.

Helperly was born from this journey—to help more people stay in their homes, live on their own terms, and build the lives they choose. Our platform is designed not only to connect service seekers with trusted support but also to empower service providers to do meaningful work that truly changes lives.

At Helperly, we believe independence should be accessible, and support should be personal, trustworthy, and community-driven.
