Things people ask Esther

There is no wrong way to ask. Say it however you would say it to a neighbour.

  • “I need someone to cut my grass.”
  • “I need a plumber.”
  • “I need a ride to my appointment.”
  • “I need a hairdresser who comes to the house.”
  • “I need help around the house.”
  • “I need someone to shovel the driveway.”

Esther speaks many languages. Just start speaking in your dialect — she'll follow along.

For adult children

Peace of mind, one number away.

Imagine ordering trusted local help for Mom or Dad the way you'd order dinner. Lawn care, transportation, a plumber, a mobile hairdresser, home support — Esther does the searching and connects your family with the right provider.

  • Someone reliable when you can't be there in person.
  • No more calling around for Mom or Dad on your lunch break.
  • Local businesses, checked by a person before they're recommended.

Every voice welcome on the line.
