Meet Tammy Watson, founder of Canadian Handywoman and proud winner of the 2023 Women-Led Business of the Year Award. Tammy helps women+ build confidence with tools, tackle home repairs, and take charge of their own space — without judgment, pressure, or “you should already know this” vibes.

Serving South Eastern Ontario, Canadian Handywoman also offers dependable home and office maintenance, small repairs, furniture assembly, To-Do List support, and small builds — all delivered with Tammy’s calm, practical expertise.

Because Sometimes, You Just Need a Handywoman.
You don’t need to know it all — you just need the right guide. Whether you’re learning, fixing, or finally crossing that project off your list, I’ll help you do it with confidence.
