Borrow a Grandson.

Free help around the home from someone who treats your time like it belongs to family — because that's exactly how it started.

Why this exists

Not a service. A standing offer.

I visit my grandmother almost every day. Her building is full of people just like her — sharp and independent, but one loose hinge or confusing phone update away from needing a hand.

Borrow a Grandson is that same offer, open to her neighbours too. Call, email, or message me, pick a time, and I'll come by and do the kind of thing a grandson does. No fee, no catch.

What a grandson is for

If it's the kind of thing you'd never bother your own grandson over, that's exactly the kind of thing to call about.

Moving the heavy stuff

Rearranging furniture, carrying boxes, lifting anything you shouldn't be lifting alone.

Making the phone behave

Video calls with grandkids, confusing phone updates and, televisions that won't cooperate

Small fixes around the place

A wobbly shelf, a lightbulb out of reach, a cabinet door that won't close right.

How to book me
