Hi, I'm Libby. I help people who care for their aging parents.
I started my business, Quilt, to offer a new model of remote support to caregivers. It includes one or two, 1-hour Zoom calls & unlimited email support each month.

Here's a favorite photo of my mother, Carol, and me on my wedding day in March 2019. My husband and I planned a small ceremony near her long-term care facility so she could attend.
I started Quilt because I know how hard it can be to care for your aging parents or other adult family members – especially when you’re balancing your caregiving role with other important responsibilities at work and at home.
Before I started Quilt, I worked for a large consumer technology company in the San Francisco Bay Area – and I also became the primary caregiver for my mother, Carol, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016.
During that time, I felt overwhelmed and alone. I was worn down from managing crisis after crisis, and I was worried about the future. I knew I needed help, but I wasn't sure who or how to ask for it. I needed someone who could meet me where I was.
My goal is to offer the kind of support I needed to you. If you're caring for a parent because of an illness, an injury, or old age, I'd like to help.
I offer a new model of remote support for family caregivers that's inspired by my personal experience, enabled by technology, and informed by evidence-based care management programs like UCSF's Care Ecosystem. (You can read more about that program here.)
It includes one or two, 1-hour Zoom calls with me and unlimited email support from me each month. I charge a simple, flat fee for these services. You can choose to have:
Our Zoom calls will be a time for you to talk openly about your family and your caregiving role. We’ll work together to identify and understand the challenges you're facing and make a plan to address them. Before and after our calls, I will also be available to you over email to answer questions, share resources, and make referrals.
I think it is most helpful to work together for at least 3 months, but you do not need to make an up-front commitment to do that.
Use this contact form to tell me about you and your family in a few sentences and choose whether you want to have one or two, 1-hour Zoom calls this month. I'll follow up with you by email within 24 hours to schedule our first call.
