Volunteers and Services
 
Add your post here so we can establish a list of people wanting to be involved with Helping Hands.
Include what services you are able to provide.

I am not a permanent resident but can offer to help you locate people in The Villages who can fulfill your request.

I am a public school teacher who has been fingerprinted and drug tested assuring you of a criminal and drug free background.

I was a "Carekeeper" (great non medical care company) up north with a clean background check and references. I did 24 hour care for an alzheimer patient and helped a lady that had a hip replaced. I have been bonded and insured in the past when working at a bank. I also have a "Villager" reference for respite care. I love to chat and keep company. I love to cook and I would be happy to run errands or sit with a spouse while the other golfs. Helping others is so rewarding!! Please if you know of someone in need, Helping Hands are here at TOTV!! References available!!

Hi, my name is Chelsea. I took care of my Dad for about 20 years so I am familar with the many problems people and their family members can go through.

I am available for grocery shopping, drives to the doctor, giving a family member a break to get away for a couple of hours, writing letters or making calls, little odds and end jobs.

I am not a medical person, but if you need a Helping Hand, please pm me.

I can run errands, fix a meal or two, help straighten up your house and yard, take your pets for a walk. I'm bonded and insured through my business.

I could help out with any of the daily activities that need to be done. Shopping, cooking, cleaning or just pleasant conversation. What a great feeling to help others .

I'll be happy to give rides to doctor appointments, do errands, give caregivers some time, or just talk. I was caregiver for my parents and other family members who have been ill and was glad to have done so.

Hi, I'm KathieI and I have been a caregiver to my Pop for the past 25 years and he's alive and kicking at 92, so I must be doing a good job. I'll do anything that is needed, especially driving, cooking, light clean up, dog walking, pet sitting, just being a general gal friday.

Unlike Bright, I am on drugs, but unfortunately not the fun ones... more medical necessities, oh poo!!

Bright, I need that muzzle x 3 for the bratty schnauzers, can I borrow it?

Hi. I am GracieGirl and we will be there from November through March.

I can help by cooking and straightening things and anything else that comes to mind. I don't have a current clearance that says I am an honest person but I taught peoples' children for 25 years and not a one went missing although I loved them all and wanted to take home every one of them. (They were all four year olds)

My husband (Sweetie) is a great guy and he says to mention that he can help too.

Re: Volunteers and Services
 
I'm Sam and am fairly reputable. I sat on the school board and ran a couple of corporations.
I'm a fair cook and can find my way to drug stores and doctors offices with little supervision. Unlike what you have read elsewhere on this site, I do not do windows. I can tell a flower from a weed. I will help in any way I can.

Gracie you look amazing with your new do!!!

I'm 007, a retired Fed with a Secret Clearance, so I guess I'm trustworthy (not a spy, just a bureaucrat). I can do errands and simple stuff (not much of a cook or cleaner) and help with computer problems.
