The idea behind Angela's Angels was first conceived when Angela and Louise were discussing their aging parents and the best ways to help them live comfortably in their own homes. \\Angela has been a cleaner, household helper and companion for many years. She cleans and helps with laundry for some of her clients, helps prepare meals, runs errands, takes them shopping to the hairdressers, or the doctors. She offers independence and helps her clients remain in the house they have lived in for years.\ \Louise has been fortunate to be able to stay home while her children were growing up and accept contract work when it fits in with her family life. This is now all changing! Her children are independent now but her parents and mother-in-law now need more time and assistance.\\Angela and Louise's generation are now being called the "sandwich generation". They are a generation of people, typically in our thirties, forties and fifties, responsible both for bringing up their own children and for the care of aging parents. It is so named because they are "sandwiched" between the obligation and desire to care for aging parents and children, who also require financial, physical and emotional support. \\ Thrown into the mix and the pressure placed upon us is the fact that many of are working, either through choice or through necessity! There are just not enough hours in the day to work, look after a house and give time to both the younger and older generations.\\Angela's Angels isn't just about looking after the older generation as there are so many others who require in-home help. It is perfect for someone recovering from an illness or accident when chores around the house may prove difficult. Organise an Angel to visit a mum just home from hospital with a new baby and help her to enjoy her baby without feeling guilty about mounting housework.\\With the click of a button you can access a wonderful range of household helpers just right for your needs.
