About this Service

Live-in household support and elder companionship for families in the Hamptons, Connecticut, Catskills, and surrounding areas. I manage the home so you don't have to worry. Coordinating maintenance, handling life admin, driving to appointments, providing daily companionship, and overseeing pet care (big dogs especially welcome). I'm not a housekeeper or personal chef. I'm the person who runs the show so your loved one is safe, supported, and not alone. Available for full weeks of in-home support or ongoing arrangements. Ideal setup includes separate living quarters (cottage, guest house, backyard ADU). I can also provide birth doula and childbirth education services, and will be offering end-of-life and bereavement support beginning spring 2026.

About this Lister

I'm a 34-year-old caregiver and certified doula leaving NYC to focus on what I do best: showing up for people during the transitions that reshape everything. I've spent years in fast-paced operational roles managing logistics, systems, and chaos. I've also worked as an innkeeper and house manager. A profound personal loss shifted my focus toward care work, and I haven't looked back. I'm warm, direct, dependable, and very good in a crisis. I'm someone your parent will actually enjoy having around, and someone you'll trust enough to stop worrying. My home base is Northern NJ, and I'm building a practice that spans birth support, elder companionship, and household management across the tri-state area.
