Professional moms are offering concierge services to parents and kids sending their kids away to far-flung college campuses and providing a variety of tasks.
A Missouri mom is stepping in as a second, professional mother for college students living far from their families, giving parents peace of mind as she provides paid services ranging from delivering sweet treats to assembling dorm room furniture.
Concierge services for college students far from home have popped up nationwide. The services intend to provide peace for parents knowing that a mother figure is around to support their young adult while they are off at college. "I tell the students that it's like they have a really nice aunt … somebody who's just there," Horwitz said."They don't have to feel guilty. If they need something, they can ask."
Horwitz uses her local connections to help in dire situations, including texting a police officer to get her student's medication during a blizzard. She also helped three get situated after a fire in their apartment building displaced them for the night. She bought them toothpaste and deodorant and even brought over her puppies to cheer them up.
