AN EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS TO
Help with Home & Family
Hello, I'm Karen. I've been working in homes, providing care and support to families for over 30 years. I'm a natural when it comes to caregiving and homemaking, and have a knack for supporting people of all ages and situations--it's what I love to do.
I've helped people who are recovering from surgery or are new mothers. I've worked to give caregivers a break when they are caring for loved ones through progressive diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. I have a strong focus in helping people pack or unpack and organized after a move.
I have specialized training and experience in eldercare support which includes certification as eldercare adviser.
My work is customized to your specific needs and can be arranged as a single project or in short- or long-term contracts. I'm licensed, insured, and can provide references.

Testimonials
“Karen’s routine care is helping us stay in our own home. When Karen visits, I’m able to work at the ranch knowing that my wife is safe and enjoying special companionship.”
“Karen has helped me in so many ways over the past few years! She is extremely organized and is currently helping me with my own organizational project, which is no small feat. She also helps me with cooking, cleaning and other everyday needs. Not only is she a wonderful helper but I also consider her a friend.”
“I hesitate to write the glowing review for Helping Hands Karen that she deserves. Why? Because if you all start using her she may get too busy. Oh well, I guess I will have to take my chances. Desperate, we needed to find an assistant for my wonderful Uncle. He needs more than just being dumped at a bus stop to get his appointments and important things taken care of. Some as small as getting some buttermilk, some as important as getting him to a new doctor for special care.
Karen is the most amazing, kind, attentive, loving person you will ever find to assist with your loved ones. Okay, I gotta go now so I can make sure I book her for all the things my Uncle needs.”
“I was up against some important deadlines with my Baking company, so I called Karen. She helped look after my son and organize my baking supplies so that I could focus on my work and accomplish everything I needed to do.”
“I’ve been working with Karen for five years; we found her when we needed help moving and we’ve kept her ever since! My husband and I both work full time and have no family in town, so we needed someone like Karen. She cleaned our new house before we moved in and helped with packing/unpacking. We’ve kept her on as a housekeeper ever since, but she’s so much more than that! She deep cleans our cabinets and drawers, organizes closets/shelves, and even helped my daughter organize her bedroom! In addition, Karen does custom baking whenever we need it, from Spiderman birthday cakes to Halloween cookie-decorating kits. She can also make these delicious when we request sugar free! We even have Karen as our kid’s emergency contact! - Karen is awesome!”
“Karen filled in for us when our nanny was on vacation. She kept our household running smoothly with daily clean up and meal prep. My toddler loved her presence and attention—he told her ‘Don’t go home!’ :)”
