About Ken

Here's what some of my current customers have to say: LL: "Hired is not the right word for Ken. He immediately became a family member-going so beyond our initial request. I reached out to Ken, initially, because my husband was having surgery and I needed additional help with my 47 year old disabled son. Ken was able to rearrange his schedule to help out and has been back several times when we've needed him. He is wonderful with our son but also helps with out dog, Halley. He even took her to a doctors appointment while my husband and I were on vacation. He seems to sense our needs and just fills in when and where needed. I was immediately comfortable with him, I trust him completely. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great helper and companion." VT: "Ken was great! Planned and very communicative. On time and personable. He was even flexible when my appointment ran late. Thanks Ken!" RS: "Ken is great in so many way - dependable, kind, caring... but most importantly trustworthy - which is a rare trait. Loved having him out our house - looking after our valuables." CF: "I called Ken as my computer skills are less than formidable. I needed assist on a few global websites that were challenging. Ken, was able to identify the most secure site out of the three to complete a financial transaction on. He was very patient, aided in problem solving and, helped facilitate what I sought out to accomplish. Thanks Ken!" DB: "Ken has been doing a great job with supporting my family member with a disability. He is a very encouraging companion and can be relied on to go the extra mile."
