Absolutely no one? No friends, no local bee club. If I were gone for an extended period of time during the flow I would throw on extra boxes.

I'm not aware of any 'standard' things that you could do beyond giving them some extra supers, with drawn comb if available. You could put a hive top feeder on to get them to the main flow.
I am one of those people who is always trying to figure out how I can do things on my own for various reasons. It often works out well enough or even very well, but once in a while it leads to my becoming my own worst enemy. I'm getting better, though
So, at risk of being viewed a hypocrite following that little confession, I'll agree with beepro and recommend that you visit a local bee club and bring up your question with the folks who seem to be running the show. They'll know the club membership well, and would be able to help you to identify someone you might be able to trust for your situation. Heck, you might even find more than one person who could help.
Best of luck to you.
