Hi, I’m Alaina.
I’m a mobile mechanic, handywoman, web designer and all‑around personal assistant based in the Boise area — the person Idaho families and small businesses call when they’d rather make one call than four.
I’ve been working on cars my whole life — I grew up around engines and toolboxes long before it was ever a job. I only spent a short stretch as a service writer at a small independent auto shop here in Boise, but the hands‑on part of it never left me. Somewhere along the way, the line between “that’s the mechanic’s job” and “that’s the handyman’s job” stopped mattering to me — if something needed fixing, I figured out how to fix it.
I’ve also raised four kids of my own, and that has a way of turning you into a generalist fast — part mechanic, part carpenter, part scheduler, part everything else a household needs on a given day. Somewhere in there I picked up web design too, building sites for people I care about because I enjoyed it and I was good at it. Now I bring all of that — wrench, hammer, and keyboard — to other Idaho families and small businesses who need the same kind of help.
The personal‑assistant side of what I do isn’t new to me either. I have 18 years of caregiving experience, including as a licensed CNA and medication technician, working with elderly clients, quadriplegic clients, and hospice families. That background shapes how I show up for people generally — patient, thorough, and genuinely there to help, not just checking a box.
Capable, creative, resourceful — that’s the whole philosophy. Practical solutions for a brighter tomorrow, and things that actually get done.
Nearly 20 Years of Getting Things Done
Long before this site, I built a career leading teams, solving problems under pressure, and running my own business — across automotive retail, dispatch, emergency response, and caregiving.

Emergency Dispatcher — Valley County Sheriff’s Office
Managed 911 and multi‑agency communications, prioritizing simultaneous incidents under pressure with calm judgment.

“It is not the critic who counts… The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who strives valiantly… who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” — Theodore Roosevelt
That’s the philosophy behind everything I do. Show up, do the work, and stay accountable even when it’s hard — that’s calm accountability, and it’s how I try to run every job, every business, and every day.
Outside of work I’m an ENFP and a Human Design Manifestor — I lean into astrology and Human Design as a way of understanding myself and the people around me. Call it a hobby, call it a lens on the world; either way it keeps me curious.
The rest of my time goes to my four kids, being outdoors whenever Idaho weather allows it, and generally being the person who says yes to the next adventure — whether that’s a hike, a road trip, or letting a kid talk me into climbing a tree.
Wild Cleaning & Holistic Healing
Caregiving, housekeeping, and holistic support for families across the Treasure Valley — the other side of what I do, built on the same 18 years of caregiving experience.
