Hi, I’m the person behind Helping Mom — and like many people here, I didn’t plan to become a caregiver. I became one because my mom needed support, and I wanted to help in a way that protected her safety and her independence.

I created Helping Mom to share the practical, compassionate guidance I wish I’d had at the beginning. Everything here is shaped by real experience — the late-night worries, the small decisions that feel bigger than they should, and the desire to help without taking over.

This space is about calm, respectful steps that make caregiving feel more manageable. No fear-based advice. No pressure to do everything at once. Just steady guidance for people doing their best in a situation they never expected.

If you’re here because you’re helping a parent you love, you’re in the right place.
