Support That Doesn’t Strip Away Your Parents Dignity.

When an agency doesn’t feel right, you need me.

I'm Jane.

A small town New Zealander who travelled the world and made Sydney home.

An ex-QANTAS First Class Flight Attendant for over 10 years international longhaul. Taking care of my passengers was a privilege and a joy!

With 2020 gave life re-jig, I kept getting the nudge as I came across different real world examples of the 75+ community. I noticed, they gravitate towards me when they need help. Many still vital with plenty left in the tank, but for some cracks in health, family support and ability to live independently start to show.

I realised, there's a huge need.

What happens when parents get older and the kids are scattered across the country or the globe?

Who helps with sudden iPhone updates cause chaos? Who helps get Mum to her Doctors appointment? Who goes to the aged care facilities and makes sure we find one our parent will be happy in?

I think about the many times I'd looked after passengers travelling home for family emergencies, or simply to put 'eyes on' a situation.

And then what happens when something feels off but it's not urgent enough to fly home for? Or when multiple trips start taxing jobs, relationships and sacrificing time with the kids?

So mid 2025 I bought the website, joined a couple of aged care agencies for paid real world education... and got to work.

I realised quickly a lot more comes in this line of work. Disfunction in families, strained relationships, hospital discharges happening at a moments notice! 

The Gentle PA had one client. Then another found me. Then the referrals came. 

Sometimes it's working exclusively with an intensive case. Sometimes I help a few families at a time. It all depends on your needs and my availability.

Working independently means I can adjust quickly to what's happening.

I also work with a Registered Nurse. If your parent needs clinical support, wound care, medications, post-surgery monitoring - she steps in.

If your lying awake at night after that strange conversation with Mum, or managing calls to medical teams and social workers in Sydney office hours, let's have a chat.
