Personal Assistant

Are you moving into a residence where you need to have your name on all your clothes before they go to the laundry? (Or are you sending someone to camp?) We can help with the tedious task of labeling all your clothes.

Errands

We run all kinds of errands.  We grocery shop for you, get the groceries into your house or business and help you put them away if you want us to.008

We can drop off the cupcakes you forgot to send to school with your child or bring you a birthday cake and balloons if you forgot your boss’s birthday.

Did you get spaghetti sauce all over your shirt at lunch before your big presentation?  We can go to your house or the mall, get you a clean shirt, and deliver it right to you.  And we can drop off and pick up your clothes from the cleaners.

Do you want to give someone a surprise goody bag?  We will deliver it for you, anonymously, if you want.

If you have a new baby at home and you run out of diapers or need a prescription picked up we pick up what you need and bring it to you.

DELIVERING

We deliver envelopes, packages, or purchases from a store (not a refrigerator).  Do you have gifts or information you want delivered to your clients but don’t have time to chat  We can save you that time. We also take pets to and from the groomers or vets.

OFFICE AND EVENT HELP

Do you need someone to handle the reception desk while all of you attend an important meeting?  We can answer the phones and take messages. We can greet people and tell them when you will be available or direct them to the meeting. We know not to answer any questions about your business or to not make promises you can’t keep.  We can handle the registration table for you at a seminar.  We can bring our baby monitor to leave in the meeting room (or not) so we can hear when you will soon be ready for a break.

We have good business sense and are discreet.  Do you have a special project that could benefit from some extra hands or feet for just a few hours? We are the answer to meet that need.  Does your business provide treats and drinks for your employees or clients?  We can shop for these supplies and stock your breakroom while you are doing more income producing things.

HOUSE SITTING

Are you going to be away from home for a while and need someone to take in the mail and packages, turn on and off a few lights, water the plants, and have a car in the driveway occasionally?  We do all that and will even have fresh milk, bread and produce waiting for you when you get home if you would like.  We can also stay at your house to let the plumber in if you don’t want to take the day away from your job.

PET SERVICES

006Does Fido hate to go to the kennel to be boarded?  Does the cat snub you for a week if you go off and leave her for a few days?  We are happy to spend time with your animals and see to their needs so they won’t be mad at you when you get home.  That’s the most fun part of our jobs. Are you going to be stuck at work or a meeting late in the evening (or early in the morning).  We will go let the dog out on a one time basis if necessary. And as we said – take and pick the pet up at the vets or groomers.

SERVICES FOR SENIORS and FAMILIES

Are you a senior citizen or do you have a family member or loved one you would like to be able to do more for?  We can help.  We can help with special projects like cleaning off the top shelves of the cupboards so you don’t have to get up on the step stool.  If no one is near to visit  once in a while we can do that in your home or care facility and help with the laundry and mail while we are there.  And of course we will grocery shop.

MOVING

If you are moving we can help you sort what goes with you and what goes elsewhere.  We don’t decide this for you but we can find boxes to put things in.  We can go up and down the stairs for you and make countless trips to your favorite charity.  When you get to your new home we can help you unpack and put things away for you.  You can just sit in a chair, drink lemonade and tell us where to put things.

Are you moving into a residence where you need to have your name on all your clothes before they go to the laundry? (Or are you sending someone to camp?) We can help with the tedious task of labeling all your clothes.

VISITING

010Are you feeling guilty about not visiting a loved one, friend or neighbor as often as you would like.  Are you going to Arizona for a month or the winter but don’t want to leave someone “unvisited” while you are gone? We love visiting.  We can stop and pick up some flowers or cookies and stay a while when we deliver them.  If this person doesn’t always answer the phone when you call we can help them call you.  Just let us know when.

STUDENT SERVICES

Do you have a student in the South Bend – Mishawaka area? If they don’t feel good we can deliver chicken soup.  If they won an award or did especially well in a class we can deliver balloons.  If it is their birthday we can deliver a card, cake, plates, forks and napkins.  No real candles in the dorm though.  We can grocery shop for them.  (If there is no elevator in the dorm we appreciate help getting the two cases of water up to the third floor.)
