Have you ever found a very good thing but didn’t really want to share it? Did you just want to keep it for yourself?
Well, I have found a really good thing that I really don’t want to share but I think Ellen Pfeiffer of Generations Concierge Services deserves a shout out!
Several months ago I realized that I was overwhelmed with responsibilities. It was taking a toll and I decided I needed help. I am the caregiver for one of my daughters and although she lives in her own apartment, it is my responsibility to take her grocery shopping once a week and to regularly clean her apartment.
The manager of the apartment complex where my daughter lives recommended one of their cleaning ladies so I now have a dependable lady who comes in about every two weeks to clean. I also located a wonderful concierge service that takes her shopping once a week. The concierge service is Generations Concierge and Ellen Pfeiffer is the owner. Her website states:
“Do you feel stressed out and overworked? Feel as if there are never enough hours in the day? Do you need an affordable way to gain the time you need for yourself to spend the time doing the things that are really important in life?? Let Generations Concierge be your personal assistant. We can shop, run errands, take your car to be serviced, take you to an appointment; to name a few examples.
Our mission is to make your life easier. At Generations Concierge, we believe that quality service does make a difference, and we will always strive to provide quality in all that we do. We are affordable, dependable and easy to use."
Recently the San Antonio Express News ran a story about Ellen. You can read it here: Need Some Help?
Here is a link to the Generations Concierge website where you will find more information and a list of all the services offered. www.generationsconcierge.com
Ellen is more than just an errand person. She provides a professional and personalized service. She takes an interest in my daughter, gives her useful information, makes helpful suggestions, loans her books, and provides stimulating conversation.
Now I can spend more quality time with my daughter without constantly worrying about getting things done. I am happier and my daughter is happier, too... thanks Ellen!
I don't want Ellen to get too popular! But then again, she has 11 employees, so it's ok!
Hi Ellen, I have felt that way with a lot of my ideas but not as unique as yours. After sharing my ideas with other agents/friends, I found most of these ideas actually take some effort. Unfortunately most of the people I have shared them with are not willing to put in the effort.
Shirley - I think it's wonderful that there are kind and caring folks out there with the foresight to see a need and fill it. I am happy you and your daughter are getting the help you need. :)

This is a great service that provides such a help to families when they need some relief. I am sure they will appreciate you getting the word out in the San Antonio area, Shirley.
That is a good service. I know Ceil could have used some help with her mom before she passed. I'll let Ceil know so she can pass the word.
Shirley you just made it to 300K congratulations on all effort reach those numbers. Wonderful blog have a great week.
Ahhhhh I would love to have this service! So glad it worked for you! I can see why you were reluctant to share it.

I'm happy for you and your daughter, that you were able to fine such a fine service as Generations Concierge Services. Every one needs a helping hand at times in their lives. Have a really fine week, my friend!
Shirley nice work featured a good local business. Paying it forward usually comes back to you:)
Shirley - This sounds like a wonderful business, and a huge relief. I'm glad you shared about Ellen, even though you didn't want to!

Shirley, I am so relieved that you got the help from Ellen! and it sounds like you are able to enjoy visiting and not have all the extra work. Caregivers need help, it is too much to do by yourself. Congratulations, and good job in sharing it.
