Do you ever feel like you could use an extra set of hands to get things done? As a fellow parent, I can attest of having this feeling several times!
Life can be busy and full of tedious tasks that fill up your to-do list. Launching last week in Boone, Extra Hands (The Extra Hands NC, LLC) aims to take the burden off you by offering services ranging from errands to household tasks, personal organization to pet care. Created by long-time friends, the team at Extra Hands takes on the projects that you don’t have the time or energy to do.
“We created Extra Hands because we want our clients to spend time with the ones they love and focus on the projects that most deserve their time and energy,” says Catherine Wallace, Co-founder of Extra Hands.
In speaking to locals the team found that many people in Boone want help running errands, getting a bit more organized, with house and pet sitting, and more. Extra Hands was born out of the opportunity to help others and simplify their lives.
