When You Can’t Be There I Can.
Your Mum Doesn't Need a Carer. She Needs a Friend Who's Insanely Capable.
I’m Jane. Think of me as a Personal Assistant for aging parents - the kind who does everything. A gentle introduction to support, a family friend. Someone mum can count on. Someone you can count on. I've worked in agency and private home care, so I've got the practical side down. My work in Local & Federal Government recruitment, combined with my QANTAS First Class spidey senses, mean I know when you've found the right placement for mums aged care needs. I've also been a PA, so the admin is covered too. (and yes, I'll take notes for you at the Doctors appointment) Monthly retainers available $2,500 - $5,000 incl. GST. From light support to more intensive "on-call" needs. I can taylor support to your parent. Currently taking enquiries.

My aunt and uncle are in a bit of a pickle." ~ Chairman, major Australian health fund
How This Is Different
If you've been trying to work out what mum needs, 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 is different.
My clients tell me I'm more like a friend, an insanely capable one.
"Is there nothing you can't do?" ~ Ruth (89), Bellevue Hill
Retainers flex with life.
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 took her medication or if anyone checked in today.
Your mum gets me - for whatever she needs, whenever she needs it.
If something unexpected comes up, I'm close by. If she needs her *PA because she's still on a board, I'm her PA.
* 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.
What Happens Next
1. Text or call me: +61 416 563 428
Tell me what's happening with your parent. I'll tell you honestly if I can help.
2. If it sounds like a fit, I'll pop over to meet your parent for a cuppa. 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.
