A brother, a sister, and a whole lot of neighbors
Birch is a family business from the North Shore of Massachusetts, started by siblings Elise and Evan Morrell. Elise is a mom of four young children, including triplets, and knows what a trusted helping hand can do. Evan runs Birch day to day.
We started Birch because the best help usually lives right down the street. Birch connects you with vetted, vouched-for people in your own town who are happy to help, and who get paid fairly for it.
What neighbors can help with
- Organizing: Get a closet, pantry, garage or playroom back under control with help from a neighbor who genuinely enjoys putting things in order.
- Errands: When the to-do list is longer than the day, a neighbor can take care of the running around.
- Gifts & Celebrations: Birthdays, holidays and the occasions in between are more fun when someone else handles the wrapping, decorating and cleanup.
- Food & Kitchen: From a batch of cookies to a weeknight dinner or a backyard cookout, a neighbor who loves to cook can lend a hand.
- Life Admin: The mail pile, the paperwork, the household records: a patient neighbor can help you sort it and set up a system that sticks.
- Home & Garden: Keep the garden growing and the house running with help from someone who lives nearby.
