Twenty-somethings of Bushwick, have you ever found yourself sitting alone at home, missing your mom with her unconditional love, words of encouragement and arsenal of snacks? Well look no further, because you can now actually "rent a mom" via this new service.
And the mom in question is one Nina Keneally, a former drug rehab counselor and Tony-winning theater producer who moved to Bushwick after raising her own brood in the Connecticut suburbs. Figuring her "maternal know-how" would be really helpful to her "millennial neighbors in need," she also says she comes with the bonus of not being "judgmental about anybody's life choices...I don't compare them to their brothers and sisters."
"As I started to live in the neighborhood, do yoga and frequent 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 said in an interview with Bushwick Daily, also mentioning that, "I have a therapeutic background, although I'm not a therapist."
Rates for her services are currently being determined, though a delivery of chicken noodle soup complete with an under-the-weather pep talk would ballpark around $40. Interested parties can contact her via the site to schedule pie-feeding sessions, hot cocoa talks and properly ironed shirts in anticipation of job interviews.
