1:10Now PlayingLike any good mom, when one of her kids calls, Tammy Kumin comes running — no matter the time of day or night. NY Post Features Reporter Asia Grace shares this story.
The biological parent of three and grandmother of six from Boston does it all, even in her seventies — emergency grocery shopping, cooking, and laundry. She’s even jumped on a plane in the wee hours to bail one of her youngsters out of a Miami jail, and has rushed to bedsides in New York emergency rooms.
However, Kumin isn’t the actual mother of the kids who she caters to in 9-1-1 binds. She’s simply their rent-a-mom.
“I’m a mom away from mom — a total support system for students,” Kumin, the founder of Concierge Service for Students (CSS), told The Post.
“We get kids in pre-boarding schools, boarding schools or college,” she said, “and we take care of their practical needs, medical needs, mental health needs and beyond.”
The momtrepreneur launched the concierge service in 1993, wanting to offer a helping hand to both U.S. and international students throughout the Northeast. The service comes with a price tag of $10,000 per academic year.
For their money, parents can depend on their away-from-home offspring receiving regular food deliveries, academic assistance, beauty and spa appointments bookings, aid in making dinner reservations and signing up for gym memberships, apartment hunting, furniture building, party planning, doctor referrals, summer storage, as well as banking and bill payment support — just to name a few.
