For families

Patient tech help for Mom and Dad.

You can't always be there to fix the phone. I can. I'm Ryan, and I help parents and grandparents feel at home with their phones, tablets and computers.

What I help with

The everyday stuff that causes the most calls home

  • Phone and tablet setup

    Bigger text, fewer buttons, the apps they actually use. Set up so it makes sense to them.

  • Video calls with the grandkids

    FaceTime, Zoom or whatever the family uses. Practiced until they can do it alone.

  • Spotting scams

    The fake texts, calls and pop-ups that target older folks, and exactly what to do instead of clicking.

  • Passwords and photos

    A simple, safe way to keep track of passwords, and photos backed up so nothing gets lost.

How it works

Easy for you, easy for them

  1. You reach out

    Tell me who needs help and with what. You can do this for your parent.

  2. We talk first

    A quick call with me and my dad to plan the visit or video session.

  3. Patient, hands-on help

    I go at their pace, write down the steps, and leave them confident.

Visits are arranged by Ryan's dad, and a parent is always in the loop.

Ask about help for your parent

Tell me who needs help and with what. My dad and I will get back to you within a day or two.

For example: My dad has a new iPhone and keeps getting scam texts.
