We discussed the need to have something similar to help elderly parents… sort of an Uber-like service (with vetted helpers) for short elder-sitting sessions, and small chores and errands. The tricky thing here will be trustworthiness, since mostly folks want (but cannot find) a personally recommended helper.

Care.com has a section for senior care. I have no idea how good it is. In my old home town, one of my old school friends started a business like this. Changing the name a bit for privacy but called something like “kid on demand”. They do all sorts of things for the seniors - driving to appointments, grocery shopping, taking them for walks/outings/general companionship, helping pack up homes when they move into senior care facilities, etc etc.
