I didn't start my career in a tool shop—I spent years working in mental health services, helping people navigate challenging situations with empathy, patience, and active listening.
After a career transition, I decided to pursue a full-time path toward becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. To support my studies, I started offering furniture assembly services on Taskrabbit. Within my very first month, something remarkable happened: nearly all of my clients were women.
As I assembled bookshelves, desks, dressers, couches, and chairs, we talked. Client after client shared the same phrase:
"I chose you because you are a woman."
Whether living alone, working from home, or managing a busy household, many women simply don't feel comfortable having unfamiliar men inside their homes. They expressed frustration with being "mansplained" to, worry about being overcharged for simple fixes, or a history of trauma associated with men.
I realized there was a huge need in the St. Louis area for a helper who brings safety, respect, transparency, and skill into every job. That’s how Ms. Fixit - STL was born.
When you hire me, you get:
Total Comfort & Safety: Peace of mind knowing exactly who is walking through your door.
Clear, Honest Communication: Direct answers, fair pricing, and zero condescending explanations.
Care & Attention to Detail: The same patience and respect I brought to my years in mental health care, applied directly to your home projects.
Every job you hire me for not only checks items off your to-do list, but directly supports my education and living expenses as I work toward my nursing degree. I take pride in delivering honest work for my St. Louis neighbors, and I look forward to helping you make your home feel complete!
