iPhone and Android phones, iPads and tablets, Windows and Mac computers, smart TVs, Amazon Alexa and Google screens, game consoles, routers and smart home gadgets.

Yes, anywhere in West Islip and nearby towns, or we can do the visit over video if that's easier.

Every visit includes 30 days of text help. If something I set up stops working, I'll help fix it.
Is Paperless Parents part of a visit?
Paperless Parents is a separate app you can set up yourself at paperlessparents.com. If you'd like, I'll set it up for you during a family calendar visit.
