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. I support the gap between “she says she's fine” and “something’s changing.” It’s not aged care as you know it. I'm like a Personal Assistant for aging parents in Sydney's East & North Shore. They're sharp, social, and interesting, but need someone close by in their corner. I'm a gentle introduction, a family friend. Someone they can count on. Someone you can count on. With over a decade as a Qantas First Class flight attendant, I get discretion and service. I've worked in agency and private home care, so I've got the practical side down. I've also been a PA, so the admin is covered too. (and yes, I'll take notes for you at their Doctors appointment) I work with 3-4 families at a time. Monthly retainers range from $2,800-$4,800 depending on what your parent needs. Right now I have room for two more.

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.

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 she wants to postpone because a friend popped by, we postpone. 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.
I work with 3-4 families at a time.

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.
