Alexandria, Virginia's premier errand running service... & so much more...
Hello! I am Carol Evans, President of Your Neighborhood Concierge. I am delighted to be able to offer YNC’s services to you.
Prior to starting YNC in February of 2004, I was a Daily Money Manager with a local eldercare management firm, helping senior citizens manage their paperwork and personal business affairs. I am also a former Federal employee with years of research and secretarial experience. As a Mom and a Homemaker, I am an expert at multi-tasking and have a Masters in the "Organizational Arts!" I have lived in the Washington Metro area for nearly 25 years, and in Alexandria since 1992, so I know my way around.
I am blessed with an incredibly talented team of concierges. They are experienced, caring, and competent. They live locally and are familiar with neighborhood resources and other services. Background and credit checks are done on all YNC concierges.
YNC is a proud member of the Alexandria and the Mt. Vernon-Lee Chambers of Commerce, and is licensed, bonded, and insured.
A few of YNC’s clients and associates have been gracious enough to contribute their own comments on our services. I hope you find them helpful.
“In her 3 years at Choices for Aging, Carol Evans served as a conscientious and hard-working advocate for our clients. She helped them with personal financial matters, banking, medical insurance claims, and problem solving. In short, she accomplished what I hoped she would: making our clients’ lives easier.”
Laurie Duncan, Founder of Choices for Aging
“I think Your Neighborhood Concierge is terrific! Carol has been helping me in a variety of ways for a number of years, including doing my errands and assisting with my mail, bill paying, and other personal business. She is precise and caring. I highly recommend YNC to anyone seeking the kind of help this company offers.”

“Your Neighborhood Concierge offers such a personal service. Whatever your needs, YNC delivers. I’ve recommended YNC to my friends and plan on using its services in the future. Carol and YNC – You are PRICELESS.”

“When our daughter was struck by a car, severely injured and confined to her second floor apartment, the stairs made it difficult for us to get necessities to her. YNC came to the rescue... doing grocery shopping, mindful of nutrition and expense, as well as many other errands. This assistance provided an important service for which we will always be thankful.”
Doris and Richard B. of Alexandria
“This past year YNC helped me care for an elderly relative, even though I live an hour's drive away. They checked on her daily, brought her needed supplies, communicated with caretakers and cared for her cats. It truly was like having a helper in the neighborhood. Carol is flexible, reliable, very competent, and also very caring. I highly recommend the services of YNC.”
Peggy M. of Reston
“I travel 200 days out of the year, from Hong Kong to Hawaii, and stay at 5-star hotels, so I know what it means to have first-class concierge service. The concierge services of YNC meets or exceeds any of those I have enjoyed from the world's finest hotels. They are tops.”

“Your Neighborhood Concierge saved my life--or at least that's what it has felt like to me. When my husband died suddenly, I was totally unprepared for the avalanche of billing problems, insurance issues, tax matters, estate matters, and other problems that suddenly descended on me. It is not that I had not dealt with financial and legal matters before; indeed, I am a lawyer and was single for many years before marrying. YNC stepped in and immediately began setting things aright. For nearly a year now, Carol has come every week--sometimes more than once a week--and my life has reachieved some semblance of order. She is creative, totally reliable, trustworthy, and organized to a “T.” I do not know how I could have gotten this far without her.

“YNC has served me for nearly four years now. As a busy professional with limited free time and frequent travel requirements, I simply could not have met all of my personal requirements without their assistance. During this time,they have helped with grocery shopping, dry cleaning errands, laundry, and cleaning on a weekly basis. In addition, they have handled several short-notice errands, such as coordinating/waiting for a cable TV repair appointment. YNC's service has been absolutely professional in every regard, and I highly recommend them.”

“Dear Carol: Again, you were a big help when I needed you, and I am so glad you and your business are here. I'm sure I'll call you when I have knee surgery.”

“Carol is absolutely indispensable to me. She has been helping me with paperwork for about 4 years now, and I don't know what I'd do without her. She keeps everything very well organized. I can't imagine being here without her.”
