The story behind the name
Two sisters, two kinds of love
In the Bible, sisters Martha and Mary welcomed a guest into their home in Bethany. Martha busied herself with the practical things; Mary sat down to listen.
Martha
The practical help — shopping, meals, housework and the jobs that keep a home running.
Mary
The company — unhurried time, a listening ear, and someone to share the day with.
Both are acts of love, and every visit offers a little of each. The service is rooted in Christian values of kindness, dignity and respect — and everyone is warmly welcome, whatever your faith or none.
Inspired by Luke 10:38–42

Questions
You might be wondering…
Who do you help?
Older people who are living at home and would like a little extra help with everyday life — whether that's company and conversation, the weekly shop, keeping the house tidy, or a hand with letters and technology. Many people I help are perfectly independent and simply want things to feel a bit easier.
How much does it cost?
It's a simple £28 per hour, with a minimum booking of 1.5 hours (£42). There are no joining fees or hidden extras — you only pay for the time you book. See the pricing page for examples.
Will it always be the same person?
Yes. I'm Cherise, and I work on my own — so you'll always see the same friendly face, never a rota of strangers. That familiarity matters, especially for anyone who finds new people unsettling.
I live far away from Mum or Dad. Can you keep me updated?
Of course — with their agreement. Many families like a quick text, call or email after each visit, so you know how things went and whether anything needs attention. We'll agree what works for everyone at the start.
Get in touch
