Because Everyone Deserves Someone Who Cares.
From everyday companionship to life's more difficult moments, offering a helping hand, a listening ear, and a caring presence
Welcome to House of Esmeralda
A Little About Me 💜
House of Esmeralda was born from lived experience, deep compassion, and one simple belief: everyone deserves kindness, dignity, and meaningful human connection.
My business is named in loving honour of my grandmother, Esmeralda, who passed away peacefully on October 29, 2026.
Esmeralda was the heart of our family. A woman of extraordinary strength, generosity, and unconditional love. She had a beautiful way of making people feel cared for, welcomed, and never forgotten.
If someone was without, she made sure they had something. If someone was alone, she made sure they weren't. Her kindness knew no boundaries, and she gave from her heart without expecting anything in return.
House of Esmeralda is my way of carrying her love forward.
Through personalized, non-medical companionship, respite support, and end-of-life support, I hope to offer others the same warmth, comfort, and compassion she gave so freely.
Whether it's sharing a coffee, enjoying a walk, attending an appointment, offering a listening ear, or simply being there during life's more difficult moments, I believe the smallest gestures can make the greatest difference.
This business means the world to me because it carries her name, her values, and everything she taught me about caring for others.
A Little Piece of My Heart
Animals have always held a special place in my life. Saying goodbye to my beloved dog, Kai, was one of the most heartbreaking experiences I've been through. He wasn't simply a pet; he was family, my loyal companion, and a constant source of unconditional love. Losing him reminded me just how deeply we can love, how profoundly we can grieve, and how much comfort a loving presence can bring.
These days, my little shadow is Mikey, my tuxedo cat, who follows me around as though he's personally responsible for supervising my every move. He's curious, affectionate, full of personality, and absolutely convinced that every moment of the day should revolve around food. If there's a meal being prepared, a cupboard opening, or the slightest possibility of a snack, Mikey is already there!
Kai taught me about unconditional love and the heartbreak of saying goodbye. Mikey reminds me to find joy in the little things, laugh often, and appreciate the companionship we share.
And in many ways, that's what House of Esmeralda is all about.
Connection. Compassion. Comfort. And having someone beside you when it matters.
With kindness,
Marlene 💜
In loving memory of Esmeralda, whose love and kindness will always be the heart of this house.
My Approach 💜
My approach is simple: genuine connection, kindness, and a little joy along the way!
I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported, without judgment or expectations. Whether it's sharing a laugh, enjoying everyday moments, offering caregivers a well-deserved break, or providing a comforting presence during life's more difficult chapters, I'm here to make things feel a little lighter.
Sometimes, all it takes is having someone by your side to make a world of difference.
My Vision 💜
My vision is to create a welcoming space where everyone feels valued, understood, and free to simply be themselves.
Through companionship, respite, and end-of-life support, I hope to bring more kindness, laughter, comfort, and meaningful connection into everyday life.
I want House of Esmeralda to feel like more than a service. A familiar, comforting presence you can count on, whether you need a listening ear, a helping hand, or simply someone to share life's moments with.
