solicitous
Eager to help
Solicitous describes someone showing attentive care or concern, often anxiously so: a solicitous host who kept refilling everyone's glass, solicitous inquiries about her health.
The word suggests hovering attention that may be genuinely caring or somewhat excessive.
Someone solicitous about your comfort wants to make sure you have everything you need.
