Personal Guidance and Support at Home
Sometimes a little extra help and companionship is exactly what’s needed to make everyday life more enjoyable. I offer guidance and support to people who need assistance – whether that means practical help, a listening ear, or engaging in meaningful activities together.
Who am I?
My name is Eric, and I’m a true Brabander with a passion for life. I have over 35 years of experience working with elderly people, both in group settings and providing individual support in people’s homes. I’ve worked extensively with people living with various forms of dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
It has always felt like a privilege to work with and for them. I never experienced it as “just work,” and I’ve always been truly grateful to be able to do this. You see people in all their vulnerability – a space where warmth and connection are deeply important values.
What do I stand for, and why hire me?
I see and approach every person as whole and worthy. I believe their sense of self-worth is the most important thing, and I aim to connect with that.
I do this by creating a space that naturally fills with what is needed or desired in that moment. Often, this includes a healthy dose of humor – an essential and powerful elixir of life that connects and uplifts like nothing else.I work with presence, respect, and calm, so that you or your loved one can feel at ease. My support goes beyond practical help – it's centered on the well-being and joy of the person themselves.
What can I offer you?
Guidance with daily activities – From grocery shopping, to going for a walk, visiting the sea, or going on outings
