What we can help with
One trusted local person. Lots of things we can sort.
Your Person NZ coordinates practical, everyday support for families with a parent in Christchurch and wider Canterbury, New Zealand — not medical or personal care, but the local logistics that are genuinely hard to manage from overseas.
Sort things out
Trades, repairs, appointments, gardening, cleaning, appliances — the irritating practical jobs that are surprisingly hard from overseas.
From a leaking tap to a fence that didn't survive the nor'wester, we take the job off your list, find the right person for it, and see it through to done.
Be there when you can't
We coordinate someone trustworthy to be physically present — for a tradesperson visit, a delivery, or just a scheduled call-in.
Some jobs need a person standing in the room. When that person can't be you, it can be us — or someone we've vetted and briefed properly.
Check what's happening
A second pair of eyes on the house, a completed job, or something Mum or Dad is worried about.
After a storm, after a job's finished, or just because it's been a while — we can check in and tell you plainly what we found.
Find trusted local help
Instead of blindly Googling Christchurch contractors from Sydney or London, you get people we already know and rate.
We maintain relationships with local tradespeople and services we trust, so you're not vetting strangers from another time zone.
Keep you updated
Photos, progress, and a plain explanation of what was done and what's next.
You get a clear update in language that makes sense — not a stack of unexplained invoices — so you always know where things stand.
Help with bigger logistics
Including travel support and other situations where having someone local helps a lot.
Bigger moments — a hospital discharge, a house move, a parent travelling overseas — tend to need more coordination. We can help with those too.
Your Person NZ coordinates practical support. Specialist work is carried out by appropriate third-party providers, who usually quote and invoice you directly.
