Hi, I’m Jessyca Macklin—founder of Macklin Essentials and someone who genuinely loves helping others live more comfortably, confidently, and independently.

Hello

My Story

My passion for care and organization started early. As a teenager, I spent time volunteering in nursing homes, where I discovered the power of presence and practical support. Later, I became a caregiver for my grandfather, who lived with Parkinson’s and dementia. That experience shaped how I view service—not as a checklist of tasks, but as an opportunity to bring dignity, comfort, and ease to someone’s daily life.

Professionally, I’ve worn many hats—from executive assistant to certified bookkeeper to culinary instructor. I’ve taught cooking classes through the Minneapolis Parks and Rec+ program and shared kitchen skills with homeless youth at St. Barnabas in Minneapolis. Every chapter of my life has been rooted in helping others feel seen, supported, and capable.

Today, through Macklin Essentials, I’m proud to offer a service that reflects my lifelong values: reliability, compassion, and attention to detail. Whether I’m helping someone organize a home, prepare meals for the week, or just walk a beloved pet, I approach each client with care and respect.

Thanks for being here. I look forward to connecting—and to helping make life a little easier, together.
