Our Values |
| Reliability, Integrity & Caring |
Finding the perfect Helper for your family can be a challenging task. Fielding phone calls from strangers, browsing through on-line
profiles, responding to emails from acquaintances of well meaning friends, and arranging interviews in your home with applicants who
have not been pre-screened can be time consuming and frustrating.
At Family Helpers we leverage our extensive experience helping hundreds of local families, and our thoroughly qualified and pre-screened
network of Helpers, to simplify this process. From our local office, based in the heart of Dobbs Ferry, NY, we take the time
to learn about your family’s needs and present to you only those trustworthy, reliable and hardworking Helpers who are qualified to
meet the needs of your family.
Whether you’re looking for a nurturing nanny for your child or a compassionate companion for your aging parent, the experienced staff
at Family Helpers will thoughtfully guide and support you through the hiring process and beyond.

When Susan became a caretaker for an elderly parent, she decided it was time to expand Family Helpers’ service offerings. Out of her
own personal experience, companions were added to Family Helpers’ growing list of quality domestic services provided.
It is Susan’s personal and professional mission to help families find high quality, well-screened Family Helpers. Where children or
other family members are concerned, people deserve the very best and Family Helpers delivers just that.
