What are High Country Helpers' Personal Services?
Think of us as your dedicated personal assistant in the High Country. We offer a range of services designed to tackle those time-consuming tasks that often fall by the wayside. Here's a glimpse into how we can help:
1. Technology Tutoring and Assistance
Do you struggle with technology? High Country Helpers provides kind, non-judgmental one-on-one tutoring and troubleshooting for a variety of technologies, including:
Phones: Learn new apps and get practice with basic phone use. Need some help learning how to use FaceTime, get on social media, or troubleshoot why something isn’t working on your phone? We can help!
Tablets and Computers: Get help with software ranging from office applications to Zoom to fun design software like Canva. We have decades of IT experience and can help you learn and build confidence in your computer skills.
TV/Entertainment Systems: Maybe you purchased a home in the Blowing Rock or Banner Elk area and you don’t know how to use the entertainment systems the previous owners installed. We can help you get familiar with your home entertainment system and make sure you know how to get to all your favorite shows and music.
2. Home Services
Feeling overwhelmed by clutter? Preparing for a big move or settling into a new space in Watauga or Avery? Our team can help you organize and declutter various areas of your home, creating a more functional and peaceful living space. Our services include:
Organizing and Decluttering: From basements to attics and everything in between, we can help you create a more functional, usable living space by assisting with home organization and decluttering help.
Packing and Unpacking: Moving is stressful. High Country Helpers can help you minimize your stress by helping you pack or unpack. We can coordinate with your movers or help you find movers to make the process as painless as possible.
Downsizing: We accumulate a lot over a lifetime. When it’s time to move to a smaller space, whether that is in the Boone area or elsewhere, our team can help you inventory your belongings and make prudent choices about what to keep for your next phase.
Estate Services: If your loved one has passed away in Watauga or Avery County and you need help going through their possessions, High Country Helpers can assist with clearing out living spaces, making sure to coordinate with your family on things you would like to keep and important documents. We can also coordinate with organizations that will accept donations.
Home Staging: If you’re selling a home in the Boone area, it’s critical that the photos of your home are clutter-free and appeal to potential buyers. Investing in a few hours of staging assistance can help you quickly de-clutter and make sure each area of your home will look its best.
Paperwork, Bill Pay, Mail, and Personal Bookkeeping: Maybe you are getting older and need some help keeping all your paperwork organized. Or maybe you just hate dealing with the constant piles of paper that we all seem to accumulate! High Country Helpers can assist with going through paperwork and helping you set up systems and organization so that those important documents are easy to find when you need them.
