There is that old saying, "To the world you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world." Kind of cliché, I know, but it has always been a favorite quote of mine. It took on even more meaning in recent years, with the passing of my last remaining grandparent: my maternal grandfather. I am blessed to be part of a large, loving family. My grandfather has many children and grandchildren, so although no one wants to spend their remaining year or two in a long-term care facility, we'd always joke that he has to be the most visited patient there.

When I'd visit him, especially after a while and getting to know some of the staff/patients, I began to notice a few patients that didn't have any visitors (at least when I was there). I would think that although my grandfather’s situation was far from ideal, he had many people who visited him and helped care for him as well ensure he received the best care possible from the staff. I imagine those who didn't have any family, friends, or visitors. No one to look forward to seeing. No one to share the Holidays, no one to ensure they are properly looked-after.

I tried to spend as much time as I could with patients I had assumed (rightly or wrongly) that didn't have many or any family/friends that visited. Just a smile, a joke, a few words, maybe a hug, can make such a difference in a person’s life, especially one that is void of most of these things. No person should get old and die alone. We need each other, we need the physical touch from our family and friends. This is just human nature. Many people died without such things due to Covid, and the stories have been heartbreaking.

So what I intend is to be that person to someone. I want to be that one friend to someone who has none. I want to make a difference in someone’s life. Give them someone to look forward to, someone they can spend time with.

Having worked for large corporations and not wanting to continue that life, I recently decided to start this business. Felt like the perfect time to do something I wanted to do for a while; to help seniors and the elderly, whether they have loved ones or not. There are many seniors that have lots of family and friends, but they still find they need someone to help them w/ certain things. We all have busy lives and I know there are many loving sons and daughters that love their parents, but at the same time could use some help as they don't get to spend as much time with their parents as they'd like.

I've always been someone who has gotten along with and enjoyed my time w/ seniors. I can go back to many holiday photos and envision sitting next to my grandfather or grandmother to sharing a laugh or listen to them tell a story. Some people see older people and have a difficult time relating. With me, I have always treated them the same as everyone else. Joke with them, make fun of them (not in a mean-spirited way of course), make them feel like personable everyone else, which is what I believe all people desire

I spoke previously in the introduction on the homepage, but people just feel at ease w/ me. I don't say this out of ego or anything like that. It is my gift, this is what people tell me at least ; ). So many big problems in the world, so many people have it worse than myself, I can't get worked-up over the small stuff. And my hope is that the clients I work for become friends and an important part of my life.

Well, I can go on and on but I don't want to bore anyone ; ). If you are a senior/elderly and you need help with anything, please contact me. If you have a loved-one that is a senior and you don't have the time needed to help them as you'd like, please contact me. How I help you is up to you. Whatever it is, you let me know, whether you see it listed here or not.

One thing I want to mention is we have been living in a totally different world these last couple years or so. People are at odds with each over religion, politics, and the like. Families are broken-apart. I mention this only to say that none of these issues matter to me. I like good people. People who treat others as they wish to be treated. So I don't care your gender, race, age, political affiliation, etc. If you are gay, straight, transgender, or whatever you identify as, I do not think of you any less of a person, and will deliver the respect and care you deserve.”

Also, I'd like to speak to those who many have special needs, handicaps, etc. I have to be upfront that I have no experience/training with those groups but am more than happy to help those in need. I just want to be clear that I cannot offer any kind of medical help/assistance.

One last thing I want to be clear on is my priority if I work for you or a loved-one. Priority 1, 2, 3, etc. is your health and safety during your time w/ me. And just as it is when I am with family, I will be mindful of that our entire time together.

Please check the gallery section as I've added a few pics of me throughout the years. Hopefully, you can get a feel for me and my personality.
