CareYaya’s Mission: Empowering Family Caregivers Neal co-founded CareYaya to provide much-needed support to caregivers by connecting families with vetted college students from top universities. These students serve as companions, offering relief to caregivers while gaining valuable experience—especially those pursuing careers in healthcare. Every student undergoes interviews, background checks, and community reviews before being matched with families. Both students and families provide ratings, ensuring a trustworthy and beneficial experience. Beyond companionship services, CareYaya is pioneering AI-driven solutions to help individuals manage caregiving, aging, and serious illnesses more effectively.
