Why Do You Need a Personal Assistant?

Maintaining Order in Your Family

Keeping track of medical appointments, sports practices, big games, school calendars, recitals, rehearsals, and other events is a full-time job in and of itself, as any parent knows.

Becomes Your Extra Eyes and Ears

Personal assistants can provide information about the activities of individual family members at home and at school. When you are unable to be present, your PA can serve as a liaison between you and your children’s teachers, coaches, other parents, and other professionals, even the other parents in the carpool.

Let You Be in "Two Places at One Time"

Diary and Calendar Management – Handing over the day to day management of your many calendars and diaries to your private PA will ensure that you don’t miss appointments, don’t double book your time and make the most efficient use of the time you do have. Your private PA can use their finely tuned time management and organizational skills to your benefit, no matter what you do or where you go.

Travel Management – Traveling has never been something you could term hassle-free, and as traveling almost anywhere has now been complicated by pandemic restrictions – do you need a test? Which test? When should you take it? Has your flight really been delayed again? – getting anywhere can seem like an arduous undertaking.

They can take care of all your travel arrangements, from booking flights, cars and hotels to helping ensure you meet any medical requirements, so that all you need to do is show up (as they can even pack your suitcase for you if you’d like them to.)
