I offer a unique blend of support — helping clients navigate the practical challenges and physical tasks of home and daily life, while also guiding them in nurturing their mindset, emotional health, and overall well-being.
I tailor my offerings to meet individual needs, ensuring relevance and appropriateness, with mutual agreement.
Services that I offer include:
Companionship and Presence
I also offer warm, attentive companionship, especially valuable for individuals who could use a little extra support in their daily lives in small ways. Whether it's sharing conversation, accompanying them on errands, or simply being a calming presence. I provide emotional connection, gentle encouragement, and an extra pair of eyes to help ensure daily life is running smoothly. This kind of support can bring comfort, confidence, and a sense of safety for both client and their families.
Personal Life/Home/Office Consultant and Assistant
I offer expert assistance in managing all aspects of daily life, ensuring you stay organized and efficient. My services include: managing to-do lists, scheduling appointments and events, personalized travel planning and accompaniment, arranging transportation, handling online purchases, and more. Additionally, I provide professional support in business settings, including writing, research, and utilizing AI-powered tools to enhance productivity and insights. With experience in PowerPoint and graphic design applications, I also assist with visual content creation.
Quality of Life Chats/Coaching
I help clients overcome challenges, gain clarity, and unlock their potential through a combination of compassionate guidance, active listening, and practical tools. Together, we create a safe space for exploration, growth, and empowerment.
I also incorporate Art Therapy and Mindful/Authentic Movement into the process, using free-form painting to foster creativity and self-expression, and gentle physical movement to connect with your body’s natural flow, promoting joy and emotional well-being.
Property Caretaker / Management
With over 10 years of experience managing properties, including overseeing a 6-unit building, I offer trustworthy property management services. I currently manage a private home for an owner who is away, ensuring maintenance, safety, and attention to detail. I find this work both fulfilling and rewarding.
I specialize in organizing and renewing living spaces through de-cluttering, donating, repurposing, re-selling, and redesigning. My goal is to help you create a more organized, functional, vibrant, and enjoyable space.
I'm always open to new ideas and projects.
Kelley is a compassionate and empathetic individual who exudes warmth and kindness. She is reliable, innovative, and meticulous in her approach, and maintains grace under pressure. Her exceptional ability to connect people with valuable resources is matched only by her genuine interest in others' well-being. As a result, she makes an outstanding companion, assistant, and support person.

Hi, I’m Kelley Duilio.
My passion is living a presence-filled, creative, and heart-centered life. My first work in the world was with my father’s home care business for the older adults, where I discovered a deep respect for genuine service, human connection, and the value of creating environments where people feel truly cared for. That early experience still shapes the way I approach every project today.
After graduating from Oberlin College in 2000, I was drawn into a period of inner exploration, studying mindfulness and meditation as a way to navigate change with compassion and clarity. During that time, I also created and ran my own green cleaning and home organizing business - a natural extension of my early work in care-centered service.
For the past decade, I’ve managed and developed a unique multi-unit property in SW Portland, cultivating a peaceful, welcoming community. My own journey has included navigating chronic health challenges, which has deepened my empathy and attunement to the unique needs and rhythms of others — especially those balancing life’s demands alongside health considerations.
I love helping communities, homes, and properties feel cozy, connected, safe, and vibrant. I have three whimsical cats who bring daily humor, joy, and love into my life. I’m also an abstract artist, finding that creative work helps me stay open and adaptable to life’s ever-changing inner and outer landscapes. All of these experiences weave into my work with Gratitude Assistance, where I aim to bring presence, creativity, and steadiness to every client relationship.

Recommendations ~
Kelley has been invaluable in helping my mother. She is kind, caring, energetic, and genuinely dedicated to her clients. She is truly a godsend, and I’m so glad we connected. I would recommend her to all friends and family in need of support, assistance, or companionship.
-Jeff B. 2025
I reached out to Kelley about a year after my partner died. I had worked with her several years before when she was doing some daycare for my father. After my partner's death, I was very disorganized at home. I was keeping it together at work, but I couldn't seem to make progress with all the stuff that had to be done at the house. A lot of it was stuff I had inherited from my partner, my dad, and my mom, after their passing. Kelley helped me find the joyful parts of organizing, and honoring my loved one’s past lives, without denying the sadness. Ultimately, I found a balance between past grief, and the good things that were still happening in my life. Now the house is clean, I feel like my life is on track, and Kelley was both the catalyst, and my steady helper getting me there. -Tim 2024
Kelley helped me move from my small motor home into a 1-bedroom apartment. My biggest challenge is knowing where things go and how to organize a space. Kelley has a strong understanding of the elements of what makes a home a functional, orderly and nurturing space, in all kinds of sizes and settings. We also looked at goals for my space, good habits to build, and how I will use the space to better my life. Such a space, for me, is the foundation of good mental and emotional health and a life that works.
In our process, Kelley is sensitive to the right form and amount of assistance to offer in any given moment. She holds a space of focus in which my own clarity arises easily in her presence, and when I'm not feeling clear, she's ready with helpful ideas. Her presence helped me feel comfortable and secure in moving through this process. She brought her warmth into my new home and it helped me feel more comfortable settling in.
I've also worked with Kelley remotely in a video call when I was sorting and packing up from where I was living. She brought her supportive presence with the same elements of intuition, focus and clarity that made my tasks flow with much more ease than they would have otherwise. I'm so grateful for the different ways she has helped me as I've faced challenges managing my things at times. D.G. 2024
As a friend, and someone who has worked closely with Kelley Duilio for the last 5 years, I have witnessed the ways in which she brings value to her work. Kelley has a sense of clarity about her that is reflected in her ability to sensitively move in situations requiring complicated factors and personal needs. She is trustworthy, detail oriented, caring, open minded and compassionate. I highly recommend her high quality services. Ron Ambes 2024
Kelley is caring, nurturing and peaceful. She listens very well and offers insights that speak to the heart. After 1 session, in the most simplistic way, she helped me to un-attach from my thoughts and connect with the gentle quiet within me. If you want a profoundly simple way to connect with your highest self I highly recommend working with Kelley! Rick L.
Kelley is a personable and caring individual who is responsible, creative, and detail-oriented. She has a sense of poise in complex situations and is skillful in connecting people to resources. Her warmth and sincere interest in others make her a great companion, helper, and support person. Tom Mattox 2024
Kelley and I have been meeting once a week for the past several months for our creative chats, and creative they have been! In the past 3 years I have lost both of my grown children to cancer. I, myself, have over 40 years experience of either listening to and supporting others. Nevertheless, I am learning how I have been blindsided by my own grief. The chats with Kelley have enabled me to rediscover the light within and the courage to share both the dark and the light. Kelley is and lives every word she has written on her website. In life, "change is the name of the game." Kelley knows this, and I know that she knows this, and she knows that I know this. So we never know which way life might move, but by meeting and chatting we are finding gratitude for life in all its forms. Our meetings are planned, but damn near anything can emerge in our heart to heart chats. Chatting with Kelley is a unique experience that I would wish for everyone. Eddie D. 2022
Kelley, in a session, moved me from deep pain from a hurtful situation to seeing the many layers behind that particular situation; I call this 'thinking in layers' which allows a person to see 4, 5 even 6 layers beyond the 'initial' thought/pain/moment. This was extremely helpful for that day- for that moment via that session. And ongoing- Kelley's sessions where she pushes you into deeper layers of processing, teaches us how to think deeper in all situations; this result is a higher level of awareness, more empathy which in turn- leads to internal and external peace in my life. I encourage you to call Kelley in any situation, not just to help you get through that 'tough moment', but also to gain skills essential in living a better life for you and those around you.
