Client Testimonials

Don’t take my word for it – here’s what my clients say:

I feel so lucky to have Laura helping me in my illness recovery. My chronic fatigue syndrome has gotten much worse this year, and I was finding it difficult to keep up with chores and daily life. In a few hours each week, Laura has helped me with housework, tasks of daily living, medication reminders, and organizing my life!

What really sets Laura apart is she takes time to understand my conditions including physical health conditions and neurodivergence, and she uses this to suggest how I can rearrange things so that I reduce my risk of over-exertion when she’s not here. She’s a very calming and reassuring presence in my life, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help at home for whatever reason!

Laurel

Laura is a lovely caring person who has been of great assistance to me. I suffer with energy limiting conditions, that mean I am unable to keep on top of the housework and family life. Laura is keen to pitch in with anything from doing laundry, general day-to-day tidying and changing bedding, to accompanying me to the shops or on the school run. She is great with my kids and even got my daughter to help tidy her room!!

Katy H.

Laura is excellent at what she does. Very professional, efficient and capable of using her initiative to identify priorities and meet my disability related cognitive support needs. Laura has been providing me with admin support while I am trying to recruit a new disability support worker. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone I knew that was looking for similar short term support.

Clair R.

Dear Laura, it is a blessing to be supported by you. Thank you so much for your loving and professional help in all situations. I can only recommend you without reservation. You rarely find anything like it!

One of the biggest compliments I have gotten since starting my business:🩷🫂

Recently, my client said:
Usually, she gets super overwhelmed and exhausted during the Christmas period due to her health condition and dreads December coming around.😖

But, for the first time in years, she is looking forward to it.

Why?

Because I am there to help. Because she knows the weight is no longer just on her shoulders. Because she can focus on enjoying the holiday despite her health condition, because there’s someone to pick up what she can’t do. 🫂

What do you want to give them this year - socks, new phone, the 26th board game? Do you want to give something practical, that makes them feel seen, without judging? Something that feels like a pat on the back and a shoulder to lean on? 🎁

This year, give something that makes a difference to their lives - give household support!🤔 Imagine this - they've had a super busy work week, or have come back from holiday and the house is a mess. They can pick up the phone and get a helping hand to pick up what they are too tired to do - someone with compassion and kindness. 🩷

Any question? Let's chat!

*Up to 48 hours turnaround time, as they are created individually. I am a small business 🙂 Last guaranteed sending by the evening of 24 December will be orders by 22 December.*

A good relationship with my clients is at the core of what I do, because being a household help is a lot more personal than one might think. To get feedback like this is incredibly valuable and reaffirms why I started this business.

Whatever the reason for more support, I am happy to help with what my clients need. I have to say, convincing my client's daughter to tidy her room with my help was quite a big achievement! 😆

If you need a hand, or your kids need someone (but please, not mum or dad 🤣) to tidy their room with them - send me a message! I'd love to have a chat 🩷

Did you know? If you receive Social Care Direct Payments, you don’t always have to spend them only on traditional care services.

If personal care (medication, washing, bathing, dressing) isn’t what you need, you can choose to use your Direct Payments for support like mine - which includes home help, companionship, or help with day-to-day tasks.

It’s about flexibility — finding the kind of support that truly fits your life.

Trading under the name Assistly Salford, I am a self employed household help with experience, insurance and references, so no need to become an employer & hire a PA. Send me a message if you want to find out more 🩷

Spot the difference 👀

Left: a mountain of laundry that felt like “I’ll never get through this.”
Right: a calm, sorted wardrobe ready for the week ahead.

Not everyone might be comfortable with showing what's going on in their home, so I'm very grateful that my client kindly agreed to let me capture my work 🩷

Sometimes all it takes is an extra pair of hands to turn chaos into calm. That’s what I do for families, people with disabilities, older people, and anyone who just needs a bit more support at home. 🩷
