Available for engaging conversation, walks, household tasks
Empathetic, caring, and driven by a genuine desire to serve, I pride myself on my ability to connect with others and make a difference, no matter how big or small. I am seasoned hospitality professional with 30+ years in the hotel sector; losing job to COVID provided me with the opportunity to launch my own business Leave it to Rita, home & lifestyle concierge where I assist and support busy professionals, families and seniors in and around the home. Tasks include and not limited to light housekeeping, meal prep, organizing, admin, errands, senior companionship and much more. Family comes first, I was was very close with my Grandparents and love spending time with my 5 year old nephew. Born and raised in Northwestern Ontario, Ottawa has been my home for many years and I love living by the canal. I enjoy engaging conversations, finding new cafes to enjoy a tea & scone, hikes, movies and summer at the cottage
