About Granddaughter for Hire
When I was fifteen, my grandma took me in and cared for me. These past ten years, it's been my honour to return that care, supporting her the way she once supported me. That experience is what sparked the idea behind Granddaughter for Hire- the dedicated granddaughter everyone senior deserve.
​
I'm background-checked, fully insured, and First Aid/CPR certified. Most importantly, I show up for every visit the way I'd want someone to show up for my grandmother, with patience, real warmth and deep respect for your or your loved one's independence.

For Families:
You don't have to do it all yourself
You love your parent and you wish you could do it all. But life gets hectic and you can't always be there as much as you'd like.
