Sister Act - a variety of offerings by sisters Madeleine & Lila

Madeline and Lila (Lynn Valley sisters aged 19 and 15, and daughters of Members Jennifer Williams and Bruce Grierson), re-united for the summer and are ready to work.

We're offering babysitting, dog-walking, grocery or food delivery, small painting jobs. We can even show seniors things they didn’t know their iPhone can do! Have car, will travel. (North Shore preferred.) Contact us for case-by-case pricing.

WE CAN ALSO RECORD YOUR LIFE STORY ($200). Using the template from Dave Isay’s Storycorps oral history project, we will record your answers to questions no one thought to ask you — but you wish they had.  Then we will do a polished edit. The result is the essence of who you are, captured for posterity. 

Contact Madeline and Lila by email to learn more or request help with any of these things.

Pet Sitting - Dianne Hicks (Member)

Want a vacation?  Afraid to leave your "part of the family" pet with just anyone?   I will provide loving care of your special animal for very reasonable rates.  Retired from my dog walking business, I miss the satisfaction of caring for the adorable nature of animals and would treat your animals as treasures.  I can live in, drop by or possibly board your animal.  Rates to be discussed. 

Contact me by phone (604-831-4145) or email.

Professional Organizing - Janni Kretlow (Staff)

Although not a “certified” Professional Organizer”, Janni has helped numerous clients bring order from chaos in their homes and work spaces (both in Seattle where she’s originally from, and here on the North Shore). Whether you need to clear out a spare bedroom that is too full of “stuff” to welcome guests, or tame paperwork overload with a filing system that really works — Janni can help! Her rates are $45/hour, but she welcomes a free call or email to discuss your particular situation. (References from satisfied customers are available upon request).
