FAQs
-
Yes. VANNI is my personal companionship and everyday-help service. When you arrange a visit, you’re arranging time with me, Vanessa.
-
No. I provide non-medical companionship and practical everyday help. Bathing, toileting, lifting, physical transfers, medication administration and clinical care fall outside my services.
-
Yes. If you live elsewhere and your parent is in Austin, we can talk about what would help. With your loved one’s permission, I can share updates so you stay connected.
-
I serve Austin and the surrounding neighborhoods. If you're unsure whether your loved one's area is covered, just reach out — I'm happy to let you know.
-
Start with a conversation. Tell me about yourself or your loved one, the kind of support you’re looking for and your preferred schedule. We’ll talk about whether we’re a good fit before arranging a visit.
-
Life happens — I completely understand. I simply ask for 24 hours' advance notice when you need to cancel or reschedule a visit. This allows me to plan my schedule and serve all my clients well.
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee equal to one hour at the standard rate. I apply this policy with flexibility and compassion — if something unexpected comes up, just reach out and we'll work it out together.
