A few weeks ago, Danbury remaining Brigid Schaffer was busy working at her job as an accounting professor at Western Connecticut State of affairs University in Danbury, when she realized she forgot to pack her 11-year-old daughter Amber a nibble for school.
"I didn't stress for too long. I just gave Cathy a call. She went to the grocery stock, bought the snack and then brought it over to her school," Schaffer said.
Cathy DeBonis, 49, of Danbury, is holder and founder of Cathy Can Errand Service , a 1-year-old business that serves the Danbury breadth. DeBonis does it all: She takes clients to the hairdresser, goes grocery shopping for them, takes in their letters and waters plants when they're on vacation. She also baby-sits, waits in clients' homes for deliveries, picks up prescriptions, takes clients' cars for servicing and brings their clothes to the dry cleaners.
"I'm not a taxi navy," DeBonis is quick to point out. "A taxi driver isn't going to fetch you home from a one-day surgery procedure and walk you inside, stay with you for as hunger as you need them, make sure you have enough food in your refrigerator, and then call you later to see how you're compassion. That's the difference. I offer a very personalized service.
