It’s the unique new service called ‘NeedAMom’ for millenials in search of advice…. or maybe just a hug. For $40 an hour plus expenses, Brooklyn-based former theatrical producer and drug-rehab counselor Nina Keneally will listen to your problems, offer advice (free from ‘I told you so’), help you plan and shop for a dinner party, sew your buttons back on, bake you a cake, and do all sorts of other things a real mother might do. She’ll even buy and wrap a present for your actual mother.
“I’m not judgmental about anybody’s life choices; I don’t compare them to their brothers and sisters,” she said. “I have a therapeutic background, although I’m not a therapist. I can talk you through it but if you have a serious problem, I have a list of resources and can send you to a doctor or a specialist.”
She tells Oddity Central:
“As I started to live in Bushwick, doing yoga and frequenting coffee shops, I’ve noticed that a lot of young people in the neighborhood wanted to talk to me about what was going on in their lives,” she told Bushwick Daily. Like this one man who was upset over losing a job and ended up pouring his heart out to Nina over a cup of coffee. She ended up rewriting his resume. Soon, so many young people were approaching her that Nina realised she could really help them by being a mother-figure in their lives. And that’s how NeedAMom was born. It’s a fairly new business and she’s had about six clients so far, all from Bushwick.
