Support That Doesn’t Strip Away Dignity
Your Mum Doesn't Need a Carer. She Needs a Friend Who's Insanely Capable.
You don’t need to manage your mum’s care from a distance. Because I can. I step in and make sure everything is handled on the ground in Sydney Appointments, home, health, day-to-day life. I keep things running and keep you in the loop. I'm Jane. A Personal Assistant for aging parents. Not an agency (mum would never). Just someone you can call on and trust. I work with a small number of families at a time. So I know what’s going on. You don’t have to keep checking. Calls with Mum can go back to catch up, not damage control. (and yes, I'll take notes for you at the Doctors appointment) Oversight retainers start from $6,500 incl. GST per month. Currently taking enquiries.

If You Live Overseas And Your Mum's In Sydney, You Already Know This Isn't Working
You're flying back with regularity you hadn't anticipated. Each trip costs thousands and blows up your work schedule.
She says she's fine when you call. You know she's not.
Agencies aren't a solution. It's red tape. They send different workers each week. She'd hate it. You don't need middlemen. Mum wants to keep her dignity.
Let's make this simple.
Call me.
I handle what needs handling. You stay where you are. Your mum stays home.
"Is there nothing you can't do?" ~ Ruth (89), Bellevue Hill
What I Actually Do
I step into the middle of it.
Attend appointments. Coordinate specialists. Prompt medications. Notice when things change.
Handle house hold day-to-day sorting appliances, tradespeople, strata, making sure bills are paid - everything that requires "someone local."
Hospital discharge. Falls. Confusion. I'm there before you're booking emergency flights.
When the time comes, I'll be your eyes on the ground for finding mum the right aged care facilities.
And, if Mum loves to go out, has a favourite show she like to watch or just wants someone around. I'm here for that too.
How This Is Different
If you don't know where to start. Have been looking at traditional care options and they look a bit too rigid, a bit too "carer" or don't quite meet where you're at, that's where The Gentle PA comes in.
My clients tell me I'm more like a friend. An insanely capable one.
No lock in contracts. I'll let you know if mums care needs increase. Eyes on mum within days (if you hit me at the right time, within hours).
You're not booking flights home every month. You're not leaving executive meetings because mum had a fall. You're not lying awake wondering if she ate, took her medication or if she's still agonising over her iPhone update.
If something unexpected comes up, I'm close by.
Some families may treat this as a personal services expense or manage it through their family office. Your accountant can tell you what suits your situation.
Currently Taking Enquiries
I work with a limited number of families so your mum has my attention.
If this sounds like what you need, let's talk.
What Happens Next
1. Text or call me: +61 416 563 428
Tell me what's happening with your parent. I'll tell you if I can help.
2. If it sounds like a fit, I'll pop over to meet mum and reassure her. If it's an immediate start you need, that can be arranged too.
3. If we like each other and you're comfortable, we start. I can jump straight in or we can ease into it - whatever feels right.
My KPI is when you tell me you can't believe your luck you found me.
