Everyday help, near you

Some things
need a person.

Cleaning, shopping, errands, childcare, companionship. Find someone local and vetted, and agree the price before anything is booked.

What you can hand over

Some things need a person.

Not everything can be solved by an app. These are the jobs people most often hand to a Helpcona helper.

Cleaning

One off before visitors, or a regular slot that just happens.

Shopping

The weekly shop, or the thing you keep forgetting to pick up.

Errands

Parcels, returns, prescriptions, the post office queue.

Laundry & ironing

Washed, dried, folded, back where it belongs.

Gardening

Mowing, weeding, tidying, and the bins nobody wants to do.

Help around the home

Flat pack, small repairs, moving things that need two people.

Meal prep

Cooked ahead so the week does not fall apart on Wednesday.

Childcare & babysitting

Enhanced DBS checked, every time. No exceptions.

Buddy & companionship

Company, a chat, a walk. Enhanced DBS checked.

How booking works

From "someone should do this" to done.

01. Say what you need

Describe the task in your own words. Helpcona works out what it actually involves.

02. See who is nearby

Browse local helpers with their rates, reviews and what they are checked for.

03. Agree the price

The cost is agreed and shown before you confirm. Nothing is charged until you do.

04. Photo proof when done

You get confirmation it is finished, so you are not left wondering.

Every helper is checked before they can work

Identity and right to work verified for everyone. Anyone working with a child or a vulnerable adult clears an enhanced DBS check first. How vetting works.
