Friendly help, right around the corner
Everything Addy offers is local and within walking or biking distance, so a grown-up can always drop off and pick up. Here's how she can help your family this summer.
Babysitting & Mother's Helper
Your kids' new favorite person. They'll be begging you to go out just so Addy can come hang, play, and keep things fun. Come home to happy kids and a tidy house.
Pet Check-ins & Dog Walking
Heading out of town? Addy will feed and play with your cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, gerbils, reptiles, and even chickens — plus water your indoor and outdoor plants to keep your home happy. She also loves taking dogs out for a good long walk.
Lifting & Hauling Help
Need a helping hand? Addy is strong, capable, and ready to carry groceries, haul supplies, load and unload cars, and help move lighter furniture. No job is too much to ask!
Yard Work
Mowing, weeding, raking, and cleanup. She'll also water and tend to your outdoor plants, flowers, and gardens so everything stays looking great.
Pooper-Scooper Service
Keep your yard clean and fresh! Addy will scoop and bag pet waste so you don't have to — as a one-time cleanup or on a regular weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedule.
Organizing & Decluttering
From the garage to the kids' closets, Addy brings calm to the chaos — sorting, tidying, and setting up simple systems that actually stay neat.
Garage Sale Help
Planning a garage sale? Addy helps with the whole thing — sorting and pricing beforehand, lending a hand during, then packing up and cleaning up after.
Workout Buddy
Black belt athlete and fitness lover. Addy can help motivate you or your kids to get moving. Not a trainer — just great energy, real commitment, and a whole lot of heart!
Book Her Early!
Wide open all summer while school's out, plus weekends and holidays year-round — with limited weekday hours once school is back in session. Her calendar fills fast, so get on it early!
Whatever You Need!
Helping with household tasks, small errands around the house, and anything else you can think of. If she can do it safely, consider it done. Just ask!

Addy shows up & helps
On the confirmed day, Addy arrives ready to work hard and make your day easier.
Hi! I'm Addy 👋
I'm a 14-year-old raised right here in Northbrook, and I genuinely love working hard and showing up for people. I'm great with kids, great with animals, easy to talk to, and I will never let you down.
I'm a black belt in Mixed Martial Arts 🥋, a runner, and a total fitness lover. At home we have a brother-and-sister Aussiedoodle duo — Harley and Hope — so yes, I absolutely speak fluent dog. 🐾
When she's not helping neighbors, Addy trains in martial arts with Danny Etkin — a world-champion martial artist and elite coach. It's where she built her discipline, focus, and follow-through — the same energy she brings to every job.
I'm not just here to help. I'm here to be your family's go-to all summer long. ☀️
Hands that help, a heart that gives
Addy believes in sharing the good she earns. That's why she donates
of everything she earns to children's hospitals — in honor of her little brother and all the kids these hospitals care for.
When you book Addy, you're helping kids too. 💗
No pressure, ever. Giving is never part of booking Addy — it's just an open door for anyone who shares these causes. Donations go straight to the hospitals, so they're tax-deductible and never pass through Addy.
Donated? Let Addy know 💌
If you gave to St. Jude or Lurie, tell Addy so she can add it to the heart and send you a thank-you. Completely optional!
This sends a quick note to Addy's parent. Your donation still goes straight to the hospital.

Weekday afternoons and evenings after school (Mon–Thu) and weekend daytimes work best once school is back in session.
