Mom for rent — incredible, but a fact!

Independent life in a big city, away from family is not an easy thing for young people. Very often we feel lonely in a crowd of strangers who don't seem to care about us deeply. We often lack heart-to-heart communication, advice, support and just human warmth. Having found a free niche in the market, enterprising American Nina Keneally from Brooklyn, New York, opened a business providing "maternity services" with hourly payment.

Nina is 63 years old, and she has two adult sons. Recently, she discovered that her maternal advice and listening skills are very popular among young people she meets in a yoga studio or coffee shop — they just approached her to talk about what is happening in life, asked her to correct her resume or help write a letter to the landlord.

Nina's business, which she called NeedAMom, is aimed at representatives of the so—called millennial generation - young people 20-35 years old, who sometimes lack maternal help and advice in a big city. She is ready to listen to your problems, sew on a loose button, bake a homemade pie, take a walk with you or watch a movie if you are lonely, bring chicken broth if you are sick, or even buy and pack a gift for your real mom.

At the same time, Nina emphasizes that NeedAMom is primarily a shoulder to cry on. "I'm a mom, not a maid!" — in the spirit of any real mom, Nina declares. Therefore, she will not wash for you, clean the closet or scrub the bathroom. Also, she will not replace a psychoanalyst for you, although she can advise contacts if necessary.

Nina claims that she is much better acquainted with the problems of youth in the big city than the real parents of young people who often spend their whole lives in the outback and have no idea what Brooklyn hipsters live in. What else distinguishes Nina from a real mom — she will not judge and criticize you. She will never say, "But I warned you!" — and will not compare you with more successful brothers or sisters. The slogan that Nina chose for her business: "When you need a mom... just NOT YOUR mom."

Although the services provided by Nina are very diverse and specific and she does not have a clear fixed price, she mentions the figure of $ 40 per hour. However, if there is no money, and Mom is very much needed, Nina agrees to barter. For example, she has a sharpey to walk with.

Nina carefully selects her clients, trying not to run into all sorts of perverts. For example, she politely rejects all requests from single 40-, 50- and 60-year-old "children", emphasizing that her services are intended for young people. She has also already refused an offer to fly to Europe for a few days.
