FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My friend asked me to fill in for her and the family liked me so much they'd only ever have a party if I could be there. That was really special to me, the way they welcomed me into their homes and appreciated the work I consider to be behind the scenes. How I see it is that if you don't notice we're there but oh-my glass is refilled suddenly, or how come the roast isn't burnt when I forgot to take it out, or oh good the ice cream balls are ready to go when I thought I'd forgotten them-if you notice those things and not us then we're doing a good job. But even though I am in the background, they were kind enough to notice the absence of stress and mess and thank me, and that was a nice feeling; to know is made somebody's evening with family and friends pleasant. So I found I really enjoyed the work. And I still have those clients at that first job too :)

- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Just ask. It can't hurt to ask. Need something odd? A cat sitter? Just ask, we might go it!
