Home or Cottage New-Owner Orientation
You’ve bought your dream cottage or rural home and think to yourself ‘now what…I’ve never even heard of a sump-pit before?!?’. Relax, I can help! Together we will navigate the ins and outs of why and how things work around your place. I will patiently walk you through the often confusing and overwhelming principals of home maintenance. Let’s work together so you not only understand but you’ll be able to take care of and really enjoy that new to you property.
There is a dramatic learning curve and I’ve been there. I moved from the GTA where the utilities were invisible and municipal services were easy to access and abundant. I know all too well it is not easy to navigate the overwhelm of it all, and I’ve not only experienced it, but I’ve also embraced it. I now own and operate a professional handywoman service. Let me help you! I can introduce you to your new rural home or cottage and show you where things are and how they work. Let me walk you through a Home Maintenance Orientation.

Let Tammy speak at your event to inspire and motivate your audience. She is a trailblazer who has overcome challenges and obstacle to create a space where she is living her true and authentic self.
A former Provincial Investigator, Weight Watchers Coach, and waitress, Tammy has always been the person to help you out and fix things. She demonstrated her passion for working with tools and building things at an early age by being the first female student in middle school to win the City of North York’s ‘Shop Award’. Most recently she has been putting her skills to good use renovating and repairing her 80-year old home, workshop, and out-buildings.
Now in her third year of operation, Tammy is expanding her business by creating Canadian Handywoman. In addition to providing her handywoman services, she now offers an opportunity for you to be your own handy-person. Her goal is to build your confidence and independence through exploring how to identify and use common hand tools and power tools, as well as how to confidently accomplish everyday home maintenance tasks and repairs.
As a young child, Tammy grew up in the inner-city of Toronto having to be resourceful and independent to survive. She lived with her single mom who taught Tammy a very strong work ethic. This is where Tammy really began to develop her understanding of being her own handywoman. She is a mom of 3 wonderful young adults, 2 of which are twins and her third is neurodivergent. Tammy’s struggles have shaped her into being a natural leader and she loves to share her stories that are sure to inspire and move you to becoming your own independent, resourceful, and authentic women you are capable of being.
