ABOUT US
DANA DOUGHTY
I am a mom, grandma, entrepreneur, outdoor enthusiast and companion to two Labrador Retrievers.
After 30 years working in office administration and finance, I launched Chickadee Business Services in 2021. What started as part-time is now full-time and growing! I provide administration for real estate holding and operating companies.
Recently, my daughter Katherine, came on board to assist and focus on providing administration for small business and individuals who need help with organization and staying on track. More details about how Katherine is a good fit to come.
Our services are provided virtually and hybrid depending on client needs. We have an office at Martha's Place at the Galilee Center in Arnprior and I also work from my home office.
KATHERINE HAWKEN-GARDINER
After discovering I had a knack for organizing, I thought, what better way to use that skill than by joining my mom at Chickadee Business Services?
With several years of customer service experience across a variety of industries, I enjoy helping others find practical solutions that make life a little easier. I'm currently working toward completing my Small Business Accounting Certificate and have also taken courses in other areas of business, including Sage 50, Marketing, and Project Management.
When I'm not helping clients, you'll usually find me in the kitchen baking something from scratch or trying out a new recipe. My husband, Jacob, our 1½-year-old daughter, Lily, and I love exploring our community and the surrounding areas or spending time outdoors in nature. I also enjoy curling up with a good book, watching movies or TV shows, and expressing my creative side through crafts like sewing or by getting out and taking pictures.
