Welcome to Caring Transitions of Mechanicsburg

Auctioneers License # AY002408


I’m Carolyn Doerr and I own this local business, which I started with my daughter Corinne Skidmore, who is now working full time in the army. After my husband died in 2012, I was unexpectedly faced with downsizing and moving. I was lucky enough to have family nearby who could help, but I know that not everyone is that lucky. Caring Transitions is here to help seniors and busy families move, relocate, downsize and liquidate estates. We want to take on those tasks so you can avoid the emotional burden and spend time with your loved ones.

I grew up in Toms River, New Jersey, before relocating to Pennsylvania in the early 1990s. I earned a BA in journalism from Kent State University and completed courses toward an MBA in marketing management from Benedictine University. I’ve worked in corporate communications and marketing for the past 20 years, the last eight of which were in the senior services and living industries.

This business combines my love of organization, skills and experience in moving and relocation, and my passion for working in senior services. The services offered by Caring Transitions are a real need in this area and across the country. Even those who really want to move into a more comfortable living situation look around their house and just don’t know where to start. It can be emotional and overwhelming, but Caring Transitions can turn the move into a positive experience.
