This is my Aunt
Rose with her beloved irises, holding her precious Pomeranian, Sammy. She was full of life and loved a good
laugh. Her kitchen was filled with
wonderful aromas of her famous Butterscotch brownies, and if you arrived around
dinner there was “none of this microwave nonsense”. Aunt
Rose was known for her story-telling abilities, and I attribute her for passing
this trait to me.
I moved in
with Aunt Rose in 1997 to take care of her after she had a nasty fall. I promptly became her full-time caregiver and
soon was managing all her affairs, taking her to doctor appointments, getting
prescriptions refilled, preparing meals, keeping the house and yard in good
condition, arranging her legal affairs, and dealing with the myriad details of
daily living. Eventually I had to administer
her estate after she passed away in 1999.
This
experience provided a unique insight into the delicate and difficult situations
facing caregivers, be they siblings, children, or friends. Every day presented new challenges when caring
for my Aunt in a compassionate manner which allowed her to retain her personal
dignity, independence, security and more.
Wondering
what to do with this new found knowledge, finding others in similar
circumstances, and realizing I could help meet this very real need, I decided
to offer others the benefit of my experiences.
I formed
Mama’s Movers to help others dealing with the many details and complexities of organizing,
managing and even liquidating someone else’s household, belongings and affairs. I have since helped many families: moving to
new locations, downsizing and
transitioning parents and loved one into Assisted Living, Nursing Homes,
etc.

Remembering the isolation I experienced as caregiver, and realizing the extra help needed by his clients and their families, I am constantly building an ever-growing network of professionals: Estate Attorneys, Social Workers, Home Improvement Contractors, Doctors, Therapists, Nurses and many more. We are Northern Virginia movers that you can trust and count on to take care of all of your moving needs.
