Why You Need a Private PA

A personal assistant can be an invaluable addition to any home, whether you’re a high-profile professional who travels regularly or a crazy-busy parent who needs help around the house. For many people, having a personal assistant brings invaluable peace of mind. He or she is capable of:

Keeping Your Family on Schedule

As any parent knows, keeping track of medical visits, sports practices, school calendars, recital rehearsals, and other events is a full-time job in and of itself. A personal assistant helps you keep track of your family’s calendar and often even transports them to and from appointments and functions.

Being Your Eyes and Ears

Personal assistants can supply information about individual family members’ activities at home and at school. When you are unable to be there, your PA can act as a connection between you and your children’s teachers, coaches, other parents and more.

Helping You Finally Achieve Work-Life Balance

Work-life balance may seem like an overused buzzword at this point, but the concept behind it is still a very valid one. Yet it’s one that even the most organized people often struggle to achieve. Until they hire a private PA, that is.

A private personal assistant handles time-consuming, but necessary, daily duties like food shopping and schedule management, allowing you to focus on your business, passions and spending that much longed for extra time with family and friends.

Assist you in honing your management skills: The learning opportunities provided by a private personal assistant are an additional but frequently neglected benefit of hiring one.

You’ll enhance your skills as a delegator and communicator through regular interactions with a private PA, whose skills are built around these traits. This can help you grow as a leader and manager over time, particularly if you maintain good communication with your PA and are willing to accept feedback.

The duties your private PA takes on will vary according to your unique needs, and the list of possible tasks and responsibilities your Pearl Lemon Outsourcing private PA can is getting longer every day. However, to give you an idea of just how useful they can be – and what a difference they can make to every aspect of your life, here’s a look at some of the most common duties our private PAs take on.

Let You Be in "Two Places at One Time"

Ever wished you could be in two places at once? While Pearl Lemon Outsourcing has yet to perfect cloning or time travel, we have perfected the art of sourcing and placing private PAs who are so skilled at what they do, allowing them to take on many of your daily obligations will almost make it seem like you are!

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.

Once again, a skilled private PA will prove invaluable here. 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.)

Household Finance Management

Your private PA can take on the task of household finance management, including ensuring that personal bills are paid and that you have all the right receipts for HMRC and can even manage the kids’ pocket money if you need them to.
