Sound familiar?
The same questions, again and again
You love helping, but explaining the TV remote for the fifth time is wearing you both down.
Worry about scams
You know scammers target older adults. You wonder what pop-up or phone call your parent might fall for.
You live too far away
Helping over the phone is frustrating when you can't see the screen.
There just isn't time
Between work, kids, and life, tech help keeps getting pushed to "next weekend."
How it works for families

Step 2: Bethany visits your parent
Patient, one-on-one help in their own home, on their own devices, at their pace.
Step 3: You get a short summary

Two easy ways to help
Gift a Visit

Questions families ask
Do I need to be there for the visit?
No. You can book the visit and let your parent enjoy it on their own. You are welcome to join in person or by phone if you like.
Can I pay for my parent?
Yes. The Family Peace of Mind plan is billed to you, and you can pay for any single visit or gift a visit, too.
Will you tell me what happened at the visit?
With your parent's written OK, you get a short summary email after each visit on the Family plan. We share what we worked on and what's next, never passwords or private details.
What if my parent doesn't want help?
That's okay. A gift visit or a free 15-minute phone call is a low-pressure way to start, and there are never any silly questions.
What if I think my parent is being scammed right now?
Call (605) 610-8764. If money was sent, have your parent call their bank right away, using the number on the back of their card.
Will you ask my parent for their passwords?
Never. Tech Whiz will never ask for your passwords over the phone, text, or email. Your parent types their own passwords during a visit, so they stay in control.
Give your parent patient help, and yourself peace of mind
Book a visit for your parent, or call Bethany to talk it through first.
