Lapapoe is a home-care technology platform aiming to reduce the stress and day-to-day challenges of caring for a child with special needs. We utilize a combination of established professionals, certified nursing assistants, and university students to provide respite, home care, and buddy interventions. Families can match with their chosen provider, that best suits their child’s needs. Lapapoe’s flexibility addresses long-term burnout and availability challenges by allowing providers to choose their working hours and location. Essentially, we are a cross between Care.com and traditional Private home care solutions; similar to Papa Pals but for children & youth.
